Impact Fees and General Facilities Charges

In order to maintain adopted levels of park service, transportation facilities, and impacts on the school district, the City has adopted impact fees as a mechanism to charge and collect funds to ensure that all new development bears its proportionate share of the capital costs.

Chapter 19.12 of the Gig Harbor Municipal Code defines:

  • How impact fees are calculated
  • How to request credits from impact fees
  • Establishing the time for making a credit request
  • The manner in which credit will be given for unconstructed system improvements
  • The method for appeal of a requested credit towards an impact fee
  • The effect of a developer's early payment of impact fees
