DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES – Amends existing law to allow development impact fees to be used for certain costs associated with certain fire apparatus replacement.
This bill amends Idaho law to allow local governments to use development impact fees - paid by developers for new construction - to fund the replacement of fire apparatus (like fire trucks) as part of public safety facilities. It updates the definition of "capital improvements" in Idaho Code to explicitly include fire apparatus replacement under public safety facilities. This change directly affects local fire departments and governments that collect these fees, enabling them to redirect existing fee revenue toward replacing aging equipment. The policy change does not alter who pays the fees or the fee amounts, only the allowable uses of the collected funds.
