Removal of Moratorium on Development Fee Increases
Effective August 2, 2010
The Town of Buckeye will increase development fees per adopted Ordinance 20-09, approved by Mayor and Council on August 18, 2009. This is as a result of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on April 26, 2010 signing House Bill 2478 changing the effective date to September 30, 2009, for the moratorium on development fee increases for municipalities.

Ordinance 20-09 adopts:

“New development impact fees for water resources and reclaimed water and adjusted development impact fees for water, sewer, police, fire and emergency medical services, general government, parks and recreation, and library for the Town of Buckeye; adopting the geographic zones related to assessment and collection of development fees for the Town of Buckeye; and amending the Buckeye Town Code, Chapter 18, relating to Development Fees."
