Explanation
Impact fees are one-time charges imposed by Clark County, City of Las Vegas, Henderson, and other Nevada municipalities on new development to fund infrastructure needed because of the growth. Nevada's rapid population growth in the 1990s-2000s and again in recent years has led to significant impact fee programs. Impact fees can add thousands of dollars per unit to new home costs and are typically passed on to buyers.
