Public Facility Fees (PFF), also known as Development Impact Fees, are applied to Building Permits and used to build out Public Facilities in response to more development in a municipality. Public Facility Fees can be used to increase the fire service areas and build additional fire stations, libraries, police stations, and community centers to address the need for new development. Public Facility Fees also can fund street improvements, and traffic impacts, and provide environmental protections.
For annual financial reports such as the Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 and other Development Impact Fees, visit the Financial and Audit Reports web page.
