The record

Why it exists

“Childcare Impact Fees are supported by a Keyser Marston Associates study entitled Child Care Demand Analysis dated August 1994. In a follow-up review dated November 18, 2003, Keyser Marston Associates found the fee program identified in the study is still valid.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
