The City of Wilsonville has released recommendations for substantial increases to its System Development Charges (SDCs), set to take effect in 2027 if adopted. The proposed maximums are: - Stormwater: $3,532 - Sewer: $15,352.15 HBA intends to oppose these increases, which would add considerable costs to new development. City consultants and council members have downplayed concerns that rising fees deter housing construction, even as the city’s projected income required to afford a median-priced home reaches $185,000, while the actual median household income is just $87,371. HBA will remain engaged and continue to push for policies that support housing access and affordability in Wilsonville. Wilsonville gave its 90-day notice of the proposed change in system development charge methodology on June 9th.
