What Are Arizona Impact Fees?
Arizona municipalities levy development impact fees under A.R.S. § 9-463.05, with counties authorized separately under A.R.S. § 11-1102. Fees fund necessary public services — water, wastewater, streets, parks, fire, and police — and must follow statutory land-use assumption and infrastructure improvement plans.
Phoenix-area suburbs and other high-growth desert markets carry some of the country's most significant water-related charges. Arizona figures on impactfees.org combine published schedules and model estimates for early budgeting; confirm current adopted schedules with each city or county.
Arizona figures are illustrative estimates from our statewide cost model — calibrated to local construction costs and community size — rather than sourced fee schedules. Use them for early budgeting and site comparison, and see our methodology for how estimates are built.
