IMPACT FEES

Impact Fees

Impact fees are one-time payments applied to new development to support growth-related infrastructure costs. Fees collected are utilized locally to support parks and trails, public safety, fire and emergency services, and general government services. Impact fees are calculated by service area location, the size of new development excluding non-living space such as decks and garages, or by category of commercial development. Fees are collected at the time permits are issued.

Impact fees are calculated by first identifying the service area using the service area locater tool. Next, the square feet of additional residential development is measured, or the commercial development type is determined, the fee is then assessed using the impact fee schedule. Additions and remodels of existing structures that increase the square footage of living space incur impact fees using the baseline of existing square footage. These fees are calculated using the impact fee calculator tool.

Missoula County began collecting Impact fees on Aug 1, 2024. Click here for more information, including the fee schedule and what projects are subject to impact fees.
