The City of Redmond adopted an amendment to the City’s fire, park, school, and tr
portation impact fee regulations to provide for such fees to be paid at the time of d
inspection, instead of at the time of building permit issuance.
Impact fees for individually permitted single family attached or detached residentia
struction shall be paid prior to drywall or sheetrock inspection consistent with a build
permit approval. After November 28, 2016 impact fees shall be paid at the time of
ing permit issuance. Impact fees for all other development types shall be paid prior
the issuance of a building permit consistent with a development approval.
NOTICE: Impact fees are updated on an annual basis; therefore if you choose to
payment of impact fees to the drywall inspection, the fee in effect at the time of
SHEET ROCK NAILING INSPECTION will be required to be paid.
By signing below you acknowledge that impact fees are due at
drywall or sheetrock inspection.
