Option 4 Deferral*
*Limited to 20 lots per applicant per year
Impact fees assessed at time of request and collected at final inspection or
closing of the first sale of the property occurring after the issuance of the
applicable building permit, whichever comes first.
A request for deferral of impact fees shall be made at the time of final plat
application.
Under Chapter 14A.25 SMC, applicants for single-family attached or single-family detached residential building permits
within short or regular subdivisions may request to defer payment of required impact fees until the sooner of (a) final
inspection; or (b) the closing of the first sale of the property occurring after the issuance of the applicable building
permit.
Any request for impact fee deferral must be accompanied by an administrative fee in an amount equal to one hour at
the City’s hourly rate for planning as stated in the City’s current fee schedule. The amount of impact fees to be deferred
shall be assessed as of the date the request for deferral is submitted.
An applicant requesting a deferral must grant and record a deferred impact fee lien, in an amount equal to the deferred
impact fees as determined under SMC 14A.25.030(3), against the property in favor of the City in accordance with the
requirements of RCW 82.02.050(3)(c). Upon receipt of final payment of all deferred impact fees for the property, the
City shall execute a release of deferred impact fee lien for the property. At the time of the release, the property owner is
responsible, at his or her own expense, for recording the lien release. The term of an impact fee deferral may not exceed
18 months from the date the building permit is issued.
If deferring payment of impact fees (Option 4)
I understand that by deferring payment of impact fees for up to 20 lots, I am responsible for paying 100% of traffic, school,
and parks impact fees for the deferred lots either at the time of final inspection or the closing of first sale of the property,
whichever occurs first.
