Impact Fees
Large map of Impact Fee Districts, December, 2024
Impact fees are fees that are collected to pay for the capital costs to construct, expand or improve public facilities, which are necessary to accommodate land development in designated impact fee districts or zones.
The imposition of impact fees is intended to ensure that public facilities are adequate to meet the development needs of the City and that new development pays a proportionate share of new, expanded or improved facilities required by such development.
Impact fees are determined at the time of development approval and are generally payable in full, at the annually adjusted rate then in effect, at the time of issuance of any building permit under Chapter 29 of the Madison General Ordinances.
The Engineering Division administers several impact fees for stormwater, drainage and sanitary sewer which are located throughout the City of Madison. See Madison General Ordinance Chapter 20 for more information on impact fees within the City of Madison, or Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.0617.

Each individual impact fee that has been created by the City has a public facility needs assessment associated with it.
