Fountain Hills Town Council has approved a consultant’s study that reflects an increase in development fees for single-family homes that is more than three times the current fee. The council will not consider adoption of the fee before December.
The current development fee for a single-family home is a total of $3,973. If the council eventually approves the recommended plan, the total cost would go to $12,314.
The town collects development fees for three categories of town services including fire, parks and recreation/streets. There are variances related to the type of structure being constructed ranging from single-family, multi-family, industrial, commercial, office and services and institutional. The commercial categories are based on square footage. Multi-family is based on the number of units being constructed.
