For months, the city has been working on updating its development impact fees, one-time charges meant to offset the cost of future development.
These are fees charged directly to the developers of new builds and are not taxes to current residents.
Some proposed fees are going up and some are going down, but the northern part of the city, where most of the new development will occur in the coming years, could see some steep increases.
The city and Maricopa Association of Governments project residential growth will be 20% over the next 10 years, which amounts to 40,450 people and 17,000 new homes.
