Impact fees are intended to help mitigate the costs
of future capital project needs for the fire district. Impact fees
cannot fund operating expenses, only specific capital projects, i.e.
replacement of fire equipment, additional fire stations or land for
fire stations. The economic health of the fire district is dependent
on continued planning for growth and development in order to provide
safety and service for all residents; both old and new. The impact
fees for fire service provide fair share funds from new growth to
help offset emergency needs to serve that new growth. An Impact Fee of $454 is to be collected for each new dwelling built within the East Grand Fire Protection District #4 boundaries to include the Town of Winter Park, Town of Fraser and unincorporated Grand County. Commercial Property is calculated by dividing the total square footage by 1800 and multiplying by $454. The minimum fee for any new or addition to commercial property is equivalent to one SFR fee. Hotel/Motel is also calculated by dividing the square footage by 1800 and multiplying by $454 and again by 2.5. Impact fee must be paid to East Grand Fire Protection District #4 prior to issuance of any building permit unless fess are collected at final plat. Fees are collected from properties within unincorporated Grand County at final plat or at building permit. The building permit Fee is paid at the East Grand Headquarters station between Fraser and Winter Park. Fees collected from properties within the Town of Winter Park and the Town of Fraser are paid to the town's combined building department in the Winter Park Town Hall, along with the building permit.
