Helping Our Community Grow Responsibly
When new developments are built in Tulare, they create a need for things like roads, parks, and other public facilities. To help cover these costs, the City collects Development Impact Fees from developers. These fees are not taxes. They are charges that help make sure our community has the services it needs as it grows.
The rules for these fees are in California’s Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000–66025), which was created by Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987.
By law (Government Code Section 66006(b)(2)):
- Cities must prepare a Development Impact Fee Report every year.
- The report must be available to the public within 180 days after the end of the fiscal year.
- The City Council must review the report at a public meeting at least 15 days after it is made available.
