About each permit
County Highway Access Permit
A business that builds or changes a driveway or entrance onto a Kane County highway needs an access permit from the Kane County Division of Transportation, wherever the property sits. The KDOT Permit Fee Schedule Update, effective April 1, 2025, sets $500 for a minimum use access, $4,000 for a minor access and $7,500 for a major access, with $100 agricultural, $750 temporary, $750 right-of-way alteration, $100 special event and $100 renewal or extension permits; where multiple permits are needed the fee is the highest one plus $2,500, and fees are non-refundable. The KDOT Permits page states that the County Board adopted the revised fees by Ordinance 25-093 on March 11, 2025, effective April 1, 2025, and that they supersede the amounts in the KDOT permit and access control manuals. Access onto municipal streets or State routes is permitted by those road authorities instead.
Road Improvement Impact Fee (Non-Residential Development)
Ordinance 22-27 §5 requires any developer initiating or conducting new development to pay a road improvement impact fee to the county, and §7(1) states that the fee is calculated from the Exhibit B schedule and is due upon issuance of a building permit; §6 lets the county make intergovernmental agreements with municipalities in Kane County on collecting it. Exhibit B, effective January 11, 2022, lists gross fees by land use and service area (North, Central and South) and reduced fees after the impact fee multiplier, and Exhibit C Table 3 applies a 50% multiplier from April 12, 2022 through April 11, 2027. The reduced fees per 1,000 square feet include $12,430.34 to $12,498.55 for a fast food restaurant, $3,274.11 to $3,292.08 for a fine dining restaurant, $3,862.93 to $3,884.13 for a day care, $3,529.30 to $3,548.66 for retail under 40,000 square feet and $2,084.32 to $2,095.75 for general office, depending on service area. KDOT's Impact Fees page links this schedule as its Impact Fee Schedule. Contact KDOT to confirm the service area for a site.
