Some of the impact fees levied against new development in the town of Queen Creek are proposed to go down and others to rise, according to a presentation made at the March 7 council meeting.

“These fees are paid by any building that is constructed in the town and at an aggregate level the last fiscal year we received about $20 million in that one particular year,” Finance Director Scott McCarty said at the meeting.

The fees are one-time payments made when a building permit is issued, according to the town’s website. Such fees are used to pay for capital costs associated with new growth and are assessed on residential and non-residential development.
