APPENDIXA
9-463.05. Development fees; imposition by cities and towns; infrastructure improvements plan; annual report;
advisory committee; limitation on actions; definitions
A. A municipality may assess development fees to offset costs to the municipality associated with providing
necessary public services to a development, including the costs of infrastructure, improvements, real property,
engineering and architectural services, financing and professional services required for the preparation or
revision of a development fee pursuant to this section, including the relevant portion of the infrastructure
improvements plan.
B. Development fees assessed by a municipality under this section are subject to the following requirements:
1. Development fees shall result in a beneficial use to the development.
2. The municipality shall calculate the development fee based on the infrastructure improvements plan adopted
pursuant to this section.
3. The development fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost of necessary public services, based on
service units, needed to provide necessary public services to the development.
4. Costs for necessary public services made necessary by new development shall be based on the same level of
service provided to existing development in the service area.
5. Development fees may not be used for any of the following:
(a) Construction, acquisition or expansion of public facilities or assets other than necessary public services or
facility expansions identified in the infrastructure improvements plan.
(b) Repair, operation or maintenance of existing or new necessary public services or facility expansions.
(c) Upgrading, updating, expanding, correcting or replacing existing necessary public services to serve existing
development in order to meet stricter safety, efficiency, environmental or regulatory standards.
(d) Upgrading, updating, expanding, correcting or replacing existing necessary public services to provide a
higher level of service to existing development.
(e) Administrative, maintenance or operating costs of the municipality.
6. Any development for which a development fee has been paid is entitled to the use and benefit of the services
for which the fee was imposed and is entitled to receive immediate service from any existing facility with
available capacity to serve the new service units if the available capacity has not been reserved or pledged in
connection with the construction or financing of the facility.
7. Development fees may be collected if any of the following occurs:
(a) The collection is made to pay for a necessary public service or facility expansion that is identified in the
infrastructure improvements plan and the municipality plans to complete construction and to have the service
available within the time period established in the infrastructure improvement plan, but in no event longer than
the time period provided in subsection H, paragraph 3 of this section.
(b) The municipality reserves in the infrastructure improvements plan adopted pursuant to this section or
otherwise agrees to reserve capacity to serve future development.
(c) The municipality requires or agrees to allow the owner of a development to construct or finance the
necessary public service or facility expansion and any of the following apply:
A-1
(i) The costs incurred or money advanced are credited against or reimbursed from the development fees
otherwise due from a development.
(ii) The municipality reimburses the owner for those costs from the development fees paid from all
developments that will use those necessary public services or facility expansions.
(iii) For those costs incurred the municipality allows the owner to assign the credits or reimbursement rights
from the development fees otherwise due from a development to other developments for the same category of
necessary public services in the same service area.
8. Projected interest charges and other finance costs may be included in determining the amount of development
fees only if the monies are used for the payment of principal and interest on the portion of the bonds, notes or
other obligations issued to finance construction of necessary public services or facility expansions identified in
the infrastructure improvements plan.
9. Monies received from development fees assessed pursuant to this section shall be placed in a separate fund
and accounted for separately and may only be used for the purposes authorized by this section. Monies received
from a development fee identified in an infrastructure improvements plan adopted or updated pursuant to
subsection D of this section shall be used to provide the same category of necessary public services or facility
expansions for which the development fee was assessed and for the benefit of the same service area, as defined
in the infrastructure improvements plan, in which the development fee was assessed. Interest earned on monies
in the separate fund shall be credited to the fund.
10. The schedule for payment of fees shall be provided by the municipality. Based on the cost identified in the
infrastructure improvements plan, the municipality shall provide a credit toward the payment of a development
fee for the required or agreed to dedication of public sites, improvements and other necessary public services or
facility expansions included in the infrastructure improvements plan and for which a development fee is
assessed, to the extent the public sites, improvements and necessary public services or facility expansions are
provided by the developer. The developer of residential dwelling units shall be required to pay development fees
when construction permits for the dwelling units are issued, or at a later time if specified in a development
agreement pursuant to section 9-500.05. If a development agreement provides for fees to be paid at a time later
than the issuance of construction permits, the deferred fees shall be paid no later than fifteen days after the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The development agreement shall provide for the value of any deferred
fees to be supported by appropriate security, including a surety bond, letter of credit or cash bond.
11. If a municipality requires as a condition of development approval the construction or improvement of,
contributions to or dedication of any facilities that were not included in a previously adopted infrastructure
improvements plan, the municipality shall cause the infrastructure improvements plan to be amended to include
the facilities and shall provide a credit toward the payment of a development fee for the construction,
improvement, contribution or dedication of the facilities to the extent that the facilities will substitute for or
otherwise reduce the need for other similar facilities in the infrastructure improvements plan for which
development fees were assessed.
12. The municipality shall forecast the contribution to be made in the future in cash or by taxes, fees,
assessments or other sources of revenue derived from the property owner towards the capital costs of the
necessary public service covered by the development fee and shall include these contributions in determining the
extent of the burden imposed by the development. Beginning August 1, 2014, for purposes of calculating the
required offset to development fees pursuant to this subsection, if a municipality imposes a construction
contracting or similar excise tax rate in excess of the percentage amount of the transaction privilege tax rate
imposed on the majority of other transaction privilege tax classifications, the entire excess portion of the
construction contracting or similar excise tax shall be treated as a contribution to the capital costs of necessary
public services provided to development for which development fees are assessed, unless the excess portion was
already taken into account for such purpose pursuant to this subsection.
A-2
13. If development fees are assessed by a municipality, the fees shall be assessed against commercial, residential
and industrial development, except that the municipality may distinguish between different categories of
residential, commercial and industrial development in assessing the costs to the municipality of providing
necessary public services to new development and in determining the amount of the development fee applicable
to the category of development. If a municipality agrees to waive any of the development fees assessed on a
development, the municipality shall reimburse the appropriate development fee accounts for the amount that was
waived. The municipality shall provide notice of any such waiver to the advisory committee established
pursuant to subsection G of this section within thirty days.
14. In determining and assessing a development fee applying to land in a community facilities district
established under title 48, chapter 4, article 6, the municipality shall take into account all public infrastructure
provided by the district and capital costs paid by the district for necessary public services and shall not assess a
portion of the development fee based on the infrastructure or costs.
C. A municipality shall give at least thirty days' advance notice of intention to assess a development fee and
shall release to the public and post on its website or the website of an association of cities and towns if a
municipality does not have a website a written report of the land use assumptions and infrastructure
improvements plan adopted pursuant to subsection D of this section. The municipality shall conduct a public
hearing on the proposed development fee at any time after the expiration of the thirty day notice of intention to
assess a development fee and at least thirty days before the scheduled date of adoption of the fee by the
governing body. Within sixty days after the date of the public hearing on the proposed development fee, a
municipality shall approve or disapprove the imposition of the development fee. A municipality shall not adopt
an ordinance, order or resolution approving a development fee as an emergency measure. A development fee
assessed pursuant to this section shall not be effective until seventy-five days after its formal adoption by the
governing body of the municipality. Nothing in this subsection shall affect any development fee adopted before
July 24, 1982.
D. Before the adoption or amendment of a development fee, the governing body of the municipality shall adopt
or update the land use assumptions and infrastructure improvements plan for the designated service area. The
municipality shall conduct a public hearing on the land use assumptions and infrastructure improvements plan at
least thirty days before the adoption or update of the plan. The municipality shall release the plan to the public,
post the plan on its website or the website of an association of cities and towns if the municipality does not have
a website, including in the posting its land use assumptions, the time period of the projections, a description of
the necessary public services included in the infrastructure improvements plan and a map of the service area to
which the land use assumptions apply, make available to the public the documents used to prepare the
assumptions and plan and provide public notice at least sixty days before the public hearing, subject to the
following:
1. The land use assumptions and infrastructure improvements plan shall be approved or disapproved within sixty
days after the public hearing on the land use assumptions and infrastructure improvements plan and at least
thirty days before the public hearing on the report required by subsection C of this section. A municipality shall
not adopt an ordinance, order or resolution approving the land use assumptions or infrastructure improvements
plan as an emergency measure.
2. An infrastructure improvements plan shall be developed by qualified professionals using generally accepted
engineering and planning practices pursuant to subsection E of this section.
3. A municipality shall update the land use assumptions and infrastructure improvements plan at least every five
years. The initial five year period begins on the day the infrastructure improvements plan is adopted. The
municipality shall review and evaluate its current land use assumptions and shall cause an update of the
infrastructure improvements plan to be prepared pursuant to this section.
4. Within sixty days after completion of the updated land use assumptions and infrastructure improvements plan,
the municipality shall schedule and provide notice of a public hearing to discuss and review the update and shall
determine whether to amend the assumptions and plan.
A-3
5. A municipality shall hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed amendments to the land use assumptions,
the infrastructure improvements plan or the development fee. The land use assumptions and the infrastructure
improvements plan, including the amount of any proposed changes to the development fee per service unit, shall
be made available to the public on or before the date of the first publication of the notice of the hearing on the
amendments.
6. The notice and hearing procedures prescribed in paragraph 1 of this subsection apply to a hearing on the
amendment of land use assumptions, an infrastructure improvements plan or a development fee. Within sixty
days after the date of the public hearing on the amendments, a municipality shall approve or disapprove the
amendments to the land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan or development fee. A municipality
shall not adopt an ordinance, order or resolution approving the amended land use assumptions, infrastructure
improvements plan or development fee as an emergency measure.
7. The advisory committee established under subsection G of this section shall file its written comments on any
proposed or updated land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan and development fees before the
fifth business day before the date of the public hearing on the proposed or updated assumptions, plan and fees.
8. If, at the time an update as prescribed in paragraph 3 of this subsection is required, the municipality
determines that no changes to the land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan or development fees
are needed, the municipality may as an alternative to the updating requirements of this subsection publish notice
of its determination on its website and include the following:
(a) A statement that the municipality has determined that no change to the land use assumptions, infrastructure
improvements plan or development fee is necessary.
(b) A description and map of the service area in which an update has been determined to be unnecessary.
(c) A statement that by a specified date, which shall be at least sixty days after the date of publication of the first
notice, a person may make a written request to the municipality requesting that the land use assumptions,
infrastructure improvements plan or development fee be updated.
(d) A statement identifying the person or entity to whom the written request for an update should be sent.
9. If, by the date specified pursuant to paragraph 8 of this subsection, a person requests in writing that the land
use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan or development fee be updated, the municipality shall cause,
accept or reject an update of the assumptions and plan to be prepared pursuant to this subsection.
10. Notwithstanding the notice and hearing requirements for adoption of an infrastructure improvements plan, a
municipality may amend an infrastructure improvements plan adopted pursuant to this section without a public
hearing if the amendment addresses only elements of necessary public services in the existing infrastructure
improvements plan and the changes to the plan will not, individually or cumulatively with other amendments
adopted pursuant to this subsection, increase the level of service in the service area or cause a development fee
increase of greater than five per cent when a new or modified development fee is assessed pursuant to this
section. The municipality shall provide notice of any such amendment at least thirty days before adoption, shall
post the amendment on its website or on the website of an association of cities and towns if the municipality
does not have a website and shall provide notice to the advisory committee established pursuant to subsection G
of this section that the amendment complies with this subsection.
E. For each necessary public service that is the subject of a development fee, the infrastructure improvements
plan shall include:
1. A description of the existing necessary public services in the service area and the costs to upgrade, update,

2. An analysis of the total capacity, the level of current usage and commitments for usage of capacity of the
existing necessary public services, which shall be prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as
applicable.
3. A description of all or the parts of the necessary public services or facility expansions and their costs
necessitated by and attributable to development in the service area based on the approved land use assumptions,
including a forecast of the costs of infrastructure, improvements, real property, financing, engineering and
architectural services, which shall be prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.
4. A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or discharge of a service
unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and an equivalency or conversion table
establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land uses, including residential, commercial and

contracting or similar excise taxes and the capital recovery portion of utility fees attributable to development
based on the approved land use assumptions, and a plan to include these contributions in determining the extent
of the burden imposed by the development as required in subsection B, paragraph 12 of this section.
F. A municipality's development fee ordinance shall provide that a new development fee or an increased portion
of a modified development fee shall not be assessed against a development for twenty-four months after the date
that the municipality issues the final approval for a commercial, industrial or multifamily development or the
date that the first building permit is issued for a residential development pursuant to an approved site plan or
subdivision plat, provided that no subsequent changes are made to the approved site plan or subdivision plat that
would increase the number of service units. If the number of service units increases, the new or increased
portion of a modified development fee shall be limited to the amount attributable to the additional service units.
The twenty-four month period shall not be extended by a renewal or amendment of the site plan or the final
subdivision plat that was the subject of the final approval. The municipality shall issue, on request, a written
statement of the development fee schedule applicable to the development. If, after the date of the municipality's
final approval of a development, the municipality reduces the development fee assessed on development, the
reduced fee shall apply to the development.
G. A municipality shall do one of the following:
1. Before the adoption of proposed or updated land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan and
development fees as prescribed in subsection D of this section, the municipality shall appoint an infrastructure
improvements advisory committee, subject to the following requirements:
(a) The advisory committee shall be composed of at least five members who are appointed by the governing
body of the municipality. At least fifty per cent of the members of the advisory committee must be
representatives of the real estate, development or building industries, of which at least one member of the
committee must be from the home building industry. Members shall not be employees or officials of the
municipality.

A-5
(i) Advise the municipality in adopting land use assumptions and in determining whether the assumptions are in
conformance with the general plan of the municipality.
(ii) Review the infrastructure improvements plan and file written comments.
(iii) Monitor and evaluate implementation of the infrastructure improvements plan.
(iv) Every year file reports with respect to the progress of the infrastructure improvements plan and the
collection and expenditures of development fees and report to the municipality any perceived inequities in
implementing the plan or imposing the development fee.
(v) Advise the municipality of the need to update or revise the land use assumptions, infrastructure
improvements plan and development fee.
(c) The municipality shall make available to the advisory committee any professional reports with respect to
developing and implementing the infrastructure improvements plan.
(d) The municipality shall adopt procedural rules for the advisory committee to follow in carrying out the
committee's duties.
2. In lieu of creating an advisory committee pursuant to paragraph 1 of this subsection, provide for a biennial
certified audit of the municipality's land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan and development
fees. An audit pursuant to this paragraph shall be conducted by one or more qualified professionals who are not
employees or officials of the municipality and who did not prepare the infrastructure improvements plan. The
audit shall review the progress of the infrastructure improvements plan, including the collection and
expenditures of development fees for each project in the plan, and evaluate any inequities in implementing the
plan or imposing the development fee. The municipality shall post the findings of the audit on the municipality's
website or the website of an association of cities and towns if the municipality does not have a website and shall
conduct a public hearing on the audit within sixty days of the release of the audit to the public.
H. On written request, an owner of real property for which a development fee has been paid after July 31, 2014
is entitled to a refund of a development fee or any part of a development fee if:
1. Pursuant to subsection B, paragraph 6 of this section, existing facilities are available and service is not
provided.
2. The municipality has, after collecting the fee to construct a facility when service is not available, failed to
complete construction within the time period identified in the infrastructure improvements plan, but in no event
later than the time period specified in paragraph 3 of this subsection.
3. For a development fee other than a development fee for water or wastewater facilities, any part of the
development fee is not spent as authorized by this section within ten years after the fee has been paid or, for a
development fee for water or wastewater facilities, any part of the development fee is not spent as authorized by
this section within fifteen years after the fee has been paid.
I. If the development fee was collected for the construction of all or a portion of a specific item of infrastructure,
and on completion of the infrastructure the municipality determines that the actual cost of construction was less
than the forecasted cost of construction on which the development fee was based and the difference between the
actual and estimated cost is greater than ten per cent, the current owner may receive a refund of the portion of
the development fee equal to the difference between the development fee paid and the development fee that
would have been due if the development fee had been calculated at the actual construction cost.
J. A refund shall include any interest earned by the municipality from the date of collection to the date of refund
on the amount of the refunded fee. All refunds shall be made to the record owner of the property at the time the
A-6
refund is paid. If the development fee is paid by a governmental entity, the refund shall be paid to the
governmental entity.
K. A development fee that was adopted before January 1, 2012 may continue to be assessed only to the extent
that it will be used to provide a necessary public service for which development fees can be assessed pursuant to
this section and shall be replaced by a development fee imposed under this section on or before August 1, 2014.
Any municipality having a development fee that has not been replaced under this section on or before August 1,
2014 shall not collect development fees until the development fee has been replaced with a fee that complies
with this section. Any development fee monies collected before January 1, 2012 remaining in a development fee
account:
1. Shall be used towards the same category of necessary public services as authorized by this section.
2. If development fees were collected for a purpose not authorized by this section, shall be used for the purpose
for which they were collected on or before January 1, 2020, and after which, if not spent, shall be distributed
equally among the categories of necessary public services authorized by this section.
L. A moratorium shall not be placed on development for the sole purpose of awaiting completion of all or any
part of the process necessary to develop, adopt or update development fees.
M. In any judicial action interpreting this section, all powers conferred on municipal governments in this section
shall be narrowly construed to ensure that development fees are not used to impose on new residents a burden all
taxpayers of a municipality should bear equally.
N. Each municipality that assesses development fees shall submit an annual report accounting for the collection
and use of the fees for each service area. The annual report shall include the following:
1. The amount assessed by the municipality for each type of development fee.
2. The balance of each fund maintained for each type of development fee assessed as of the beginning and end
of the fiscal year.
3. The amount of interest or other earnings on the monies in each fund as of the end of the fiscal year.
4. The amount of development fee monies used to repay:
(a) Bonds issued by the municipality to pay the cost of a capital improvement project that is the subject of a

5. The amount of development fee monies spent on each capital improvement project that is the subject of a
development fee assessment and the physical location of each capital improvement project.
6. The amount of development fee monies spent for each purpose other than a capital improvement project that

O. Within ninety days following the end of each fiscal year, each municipality shall submit a copy of the annual
report to the city clerk and post the report on the municipality's website or the website of an association of cities
and towns if the municipality does not have a website. Copies shall be made available to the public on request.
The annual report may contain financial information that has not been audited.
A-7
P. A municipality that fails to file the report and post the report on the municipality's website or the website of an
association of cities and towns if the municipality does not have a website as required by this section shall not
collect development fees until the report is filed and posted.
Q. Any action to collect a development fee shall be commenced within two years after the obligation to pay the
fee accrues.
R. A municipality may continue to assess a development fee adopted before January 1, 2012 for any facility that
was financed before June 1, 2011 if:
1. Development fees were pledged to repay debt service obligations related to the construction of the facility.
2. After August 1, 2014, any development fees collected under this subsection are used solely for the payment of
principal and interest on the portion of the bonds, notes or other debt service obligations issued before June 1,
2011 to finance construction of the facility.
S. Through August 1, 2014, a development fee adopted before January 1, 2012 may be used to finance
