The City of Dayton City Council passed Ordinance O2021-10 on May 17, 2021, which enacted impact fees. These fees went into effect on May 17, 2022. 

Summary of the Process:

• If a new development is platted before the adoption of an impact fee and a valid building permit is issued within one year of the adoption of the impact fee, no impact fees may be collected.
• If a new development is not platted before the adoption of the impact fee and water & wastewater capacity is available, impact fees will be assessed before or at the time of recordation of a subdivision plat.
• If a new development is located within our corporate limits, impact fees shall be collected at the time the building permit is issued, if such building permit is required.
• If a new development is not located within our corporate limits, impact fees shall be collected at time of application for meter connection to our water or wastewater system.

Please Note: To determine the total impact fee that may apply to your project you must use the below formula by selecting the type of meter needed to calculate the total impact fee due for each Equivalent Development Unit (EDU).

• EDU is equal to 3/4 inch Meter.
• Formula (Ratio to 3/4 inch Meter times Impact Fee per EDU = Total Impact Fee for each EDU)
