Park Impact Fees

In December 2019, the City Council adopted new park impact fees in accordance with Mitigation Fee Act and Quimby Act requirements. Park impact fees are applicable to residential development and subdivisions, residential remodels that increase the bedroom count of homes built after February 19, 2020, and industrial development and additions.

Park impact fees for a project may be estimated using the calculation worksheets linked below. Note that park impact fees are updated annually based on the percentage change in the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index, and projects shall be subject to the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
