Pierce County's Park Impact Fee is the lowest in the Puget Sound region - as a result, development of park land and the regional trail system is lagging behind growth. A current proposal to be considered by the Pierce County Council would increase the fee charged to developer from $385 to $2,552 for new house constitution - a fee on par (and in some cases, less than) other Puget Sound communities. This fee ensures that development "pays its way" toward the development of park and trails across the county.

Sign this petition to let the Pierce County Council know you support an equitable increase to the impact fee to ensure our parks and trails keep pace with growth - the livability of our communities rely on it!
