East Grand Fire Impact Fees

Starting in 2001, the District has had agreements with the towns of Fraser, Winter Park and Grand County to collect impact fees. The agreements with the towns were updated at the end of 2014 and with Grand County at the beginning of 2015. On February 26th, 2025 the Board of East Grand Fire passed Resolution 2025-2-26 “A Resolution Approving The Impact Fee Study and Authorizing Implementation of Updated Proportional Development Impact Fees” was adopted.

An Impact Fee is a one-time charge imposed on new development. It quantifies reasonable impacts of new development on facilities and is reasonably related to cost of capital. They can only be used for new capital purchases and cannot be used to remedy any existing deficiency.

CALCULATION OF IMPACT FEES
All new construction in our District will be charged at $1.52 per square foot. EXEMPTIONS of Impact Fees will be made for the rebuilding of an existing structure (such as a loss due to a fire or a “scrape off) and remodels within existing structure that do not change use from non-habitable to habitable.
