Development Impact Fee beginning Nov 16, 2023


Building permit applications for new residential units and new non-residential units (commercial) will be subject to added fees if they are within Valley County’s jurisdiction and one of the three fire districts: Donnelly Fire District, McCall Fire District, and Cascade Fire District.

 

The fees are collected by the County and sent to the Fire Districts.   Any questions regarding the new impact fee, or the Capital Improvements Plans should be directed to the Fire Department’s Impact Fee Administrator.

 

Below is a chart of what the fee is for each district and who to contact with questions.  The Valley County Building Department staff will not be able to assist with any questions or concerns.  We simply collect the fee together with your building permit fee.  Nonpayment of the impact fee will result in a delay in the issuance of the building permit.
