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.

SDC update
Council has adopted four resolutions that update the City’s System Development Charges (SDCs) related to water, wastewater, parks, stormwater and transportation. The resolutions take effect July 1.
For more information about the update or for an SDC estimate, contact Ken Koblitz at Ken.Koblitz@GreshamOregon.gov or 503-618-2628.
Why SDCs
Our philosophy is each development should pay for its share of the cost of providing public facilities to serve new development.
SDCs honor the value and commitment rate-payers have put into developing and maintaining the public systems over the years.

Pleasant Valley, Springwater SDCs
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.
