Impact Fee Documents

There are quite a few documents which govern the assessment and collection of Development Impact Fees. 

State Legislation

First, there's the State enabling legislation, otherwise known as Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 6.2, otherwise referred to as A.R.S. §9-463.05.   To see this legislation, please use the following link to the Arizona State Legislature website:

City of Phoenix Documents

Several documents create the framework for the assessment and collection of Development Impact Fees in the City of Phoenix.  First, the Development Impact Fee Ordinance (Chapter 29 of the Phoenix Code of Ordinances) establishes the procedures and standards for the creation of the Development Impact Fee program.  To see this Ordinance, please use the following link to Municode, which publishes the Phoenix Code of Ordinances online:

• Development Impact Fee Ordinance, City of Phoenix

If you are looking for detail on how Development Impact Fee amounts were calculated, the research and analysis behind the establishment of the fees are established in the Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP) for the City of Phoenix.   The most recent IFP was approved on November 30, 2011, and was effective January 1, 2012.

• Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP) approved November 30, 2011
