Excise Tax*
The excise tax is $0.215 per square foot within the plat, less the area in arterial and collector rights of way (as depicted on the Excise Tax Transportation Map), or in areas dedicated to a public entity (i.e. City, County, School District, Park District) for parks and open space. The excise tax is collected prior to the City releasing a plat drawing for recording.

System Development Charge:

(where applicable – assessed at permit issuance)

The system development charge varies, depending on the amount of impervious area within a development/project. This fee goes toward providing regional system control to flooding that is likely to result from a 1% rain event. In essence, it is the development’s cost of their capacity in the City’s drainage system.

The fee is calculated at $957 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). In the case of single family residential property, an EDU is one single lot. For all other development types, an EDU is calculated as 2,750 square feet of imperviousness.

e.g. 30,000 square foot of impervious area would equate to 10.9 EDU’s (30,000 divided by 2,750=10.9)

Credit against the system development charge shall be given for building permits authorizing construction on a lot shown on a final plat or final plan that was approved prior to April 20, 2004. In addition, a credit shall be given for any building permit authorizing construction on a lot shown on a final plat or final plan, which provides retention or detention for the 1% rain event, as authorized by the City with development approval.

Transportation Improvement Program Fee (TIP)**
(where applicable--assessed at permit issuance)
Beginning on June 11, 2010, the TIP fee rates on all new building permit applications will be increased by approximately 3 percent. This increase is part of the annual inflation adjustment as authorized by the TIP fee ordinance (City of Lenexa code section 4-2-K-2.G).

The TIP fee varies depending upon the size and use of the subject building and is based on the traffic generation by the use. It is collected at the time of building permit issuance. The previous rate in effect since June 26, 2009, was based on $35.28 per trip. The new rate will be based on $36.34 per trip. The inflation adjustment of approximately 3 percent is based on the increase in the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI) annual average from 2008 to 2009.

TIP fees are utilized only to fund transportation improvement projects throughout the City. Typically, the funds are used for intersection and traffic signal improvement projects.

A list of common land uses and their associated TIP fee rates under the existing and new rates is shown on the attached table. If you have questions about these changes, contact the Community Development Department at 477-7500.
