Development committee adopts stormwater fee update; effective date aligned with building fees
Summary
The committee approved updated stormwater fees, moving the effective date to Jan. 1 to align with building-fee changes and estimating a modest revenue impact.
Kane County’s Development Committee approved an ordinance update to the county stormwater-fee schedule. Environmental-resources staff told the committee the fees had not been updated since 2019 and that the main technical change was to align the stormwater fees’ effective date with the building-fee schedule, moving the effective date to Jan. 1, 2026.
Staff said the estimated additional revenue would be small, roughly $5,000 per year; committee members noted the change keeps program costs on those using development services rather than the general taxpayer base. The committee passed the ordinance with a recorded yes vote.
Action: Committee motion to approve the stormwater-fee ordinance passed and will be forwarded for final adoption. Staff will implement billing changes to coincide with the building-fee update.
Clarifying details: staff will apply the fee changes at the same time as the Chapter 6 building-fee changes and monitor revenue effects.
