System Development Fees
The System Development Charge is a one-time user fee on new development.
In 2022, the City of Springfield conducted a system development study with the consultant TischlerBise Inc. The system development study included transportation, fire, parks, police, water, and wastewater facilities.
On June 21, 2022 the Board of Mayor & Aldermen adopted the system development study and fee schedule into a graduated implementation. On September 1, 2022 50% of the fee amount will be implemented graduating to 100% of the fee allocations on January 1, 2023.
The charges are based on the actual additional costs of serving a new development. They are based on a standard formula and a predetermined fee schedule. See the tables below to estimate your fees.
If you have additional questions on System Development Charges please reach out to the Community Development Department at (615) 382 2200.
