Summary
The county charges connection fees and requires developers to build roads, but has no comprehensive impact fee program. Commissioners agreed to have staff study a capital improvements plan and identify gaps in growth-heavy areas like Dayton and Fernley before proposing any new fees.

Impact analysis
No fees adopted yet — but a future program could shift infrastructure costs from existing taxpayers to new development.
Existing residents could be shielded from paying for growth-driven infrastructure, and developers gain predictable fees.
New homebuyers and businesses could face higher costs if fees are later adopted.
