Erschließungsgebühren in English?

[Torsten]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for an English equivalent to the German term "Erschließungsgebühren". This word refers to all the costs and fees you have to pay to connect a new house to the infrastructure (water/electricity/telephone/TV). Is there such a term in English?

Many thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten

I'd suggest 'connection fees'.

Or "utility connection fees".

[Torsten]

Hi, Jamie,

"Utility connection fees" might be even better since "connection fees" can also refer to phone connection costs.
