Pursuant to Education Code 17620, school districts are authorized to levy fees on new residential and commercial/industrial construction to mitigate the impact of new development on school facilities. These fees are generally referred to as statutory fees or Level 1 fees. By statute, the developer fees are capped. The caps are adjusted every two years by the State Allocation Board to account for inflation. In January 2024, the developer fee cap for residential development increased by $0.38 to $5.17 per square foot. The cap for commercial/industrial construction was increased by $0.06 to $0.84 per square foot. A Fee Justification Study was conducted by the District’s consultant, Koppel & Gruber Public Finance, demonstrating the relationship between new residential and commercial/industrial construction and the District’s need for school facilities construction and reconstruction. This relationship is shown in compliance with the requirements for the collection of Level 1 fees. 

 

On May 15, 2024, Resolution 1641-24 was approved for an increase at the Regular Board of Education meeting.
