Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were not closed via confirmed standalone fee amounts on this page. They are disclosed here rather than estimated or omitted silently.
Utility Tap and Connection Fees
The City of Peoria does not administer a standalone utility service connection or meter installation fee schedule. Water and wastewater capacity connection fees are captured entirely within Peoria's ARS 9-463.05 development impact fee program (FEE TABLES 27-19(e), 27-19(f), and 27-19(g)), assessed by meter size and service area - see the Development Impact Fees section above. A probe of Chapter 25 (Water, Sewers and Sewage Disposal) of the Peoria City Code confirmed no fixed dollar-amount connection fee exists. FEE TABLE 27-7 includes a city engineering tap inspection fee of $575 per residential lot tap for contractor-installed connections and $173 plan review per tap, which is a city engineering oversight fee - not a standalone utility tap or capacity fee. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is not administered by this jurisdiction as a standalone schedule.
Special District Fees (Community Facilities Districts)
No city-levied Community Facilities District (CFD) developer application fee was found in any of Peoria's Chapter 27 fee tables. CFDs in Peoria are formed under ARS Title 48 through property owner petitions to the city council; the city does not assess a standard developer-facing CFD formation or application fee comparable to an impact fee. FEE TABLE 27-7 includes de minimis administrative petition fees of $18 per lot for Maintenance Improvement Districts and $18 per lot for Street Light Improvement Districts - these are minor administrative fees for special assessment districts, not CFD developer application fees. Peoria has active CFD districts in high-growth northwest valley areas, but those are administered by the CFDs themselves, not by the city. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is not administered by this jurisdiction.
Proffers
Arizona jurisdictions do not use Virginia-style cash proffers (a conditional-zoning mechanism under Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303 with no Arizona counterpart). Developer-side capital contributions in Peoria are captured through the ARS 9-463.05 impact fees and the zoning application fees documented above. The Peoria City Code contains no proffer or conditional-zoning cash contribution mechanism. Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
