Developer Fees
In 1986, the California Legislature authorized school districts to levy school impact or developer fees on residential and commercial/industrial development to fund the construction or reconstruction of school facilities. The basis of the school facilities legislation is the relationship between new development and the impact on school districts' ability to provide adequate school facilities for the student population that new development generates. The authority for the District’s assessment of developer fees is outlined in Education Code Section 17620 under Government Code 65995.
