An impact fee is a one-time charge for new development that attempts to recover the cost incurred by local government in providing the public facilities required to serve new development.

The impact fee must be paid prior to a building permit application for previously platted subdivisions and prior to final plat approval for all newly applied subdivisions outside the unincorporated town limits.

Prior to obtaining a building permit all applicants must submit complete building plans to the Fire Department for review. Building plans should be brought to the Headquarters Fire Station located in Granby, Co.  Fire Impact Fees will be determined for each project. Impact Fees shall be payable in full in order for the plans to be stamped for approval and the building permit issued.
