System Development Charges
-
SDCs are a one-time charge for wastewater, water, stormwater, transportation and parks. SDCs are collected when a development permit is issued.
-
The
City uses SDC revenue to:
- Construct
new public facilities as Gresham grows.
- Pay for debt
on already-built public facilities.
- Parks,
stormwater and transportation SDCs are higher in the newer urban growth areas
of Pleasant Valley and Springwater, reflecting the higher costs to extend and
construct facilities in these areas.
Why SDCs
Our philosophy is each development should pay for its share of the cost of providing public facilities to serve new development.
