System Development Charges (SDC)

New Water Line

The City of Sherwood System Development Charges (SDC) are one-time fees charged to new development to help pay a portion of the water, sewer, storm, parks and street costs associated with building infrastructure to meet needs created by growth. 

The City's SDC fees are noted in the current fee schedule. Clean Water Services' SDC fees can be viewed here. Washington County's TDT fees can be viewed here.

SDC estimating worksheets are available through the Engineering Department. Please contact Craig Christensen, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer, at 503.925.2301 to obtain an .xlsx file and/or discuss particular or hypothetical development. 

Please note that the City no longer accepts credit card payments for SDCs.
