Each line is the one rate this home pays. Most fees publish several rates — by house size, lot, or location — and only one applies. Click a fee for its full schedule and source documents.
Published rates that could not be converted
These are real charges. They are left out of the figure because they cannot be worked out per house without knowing something this site does not assume — a percentage of another fee, a per-room count, a per-application charge.
Charges that are not part of the one-time total above: fees set as a percentage of another fee, and payments a builder can make instead of building something. Neither is added to the headline figure, because neither is a fixed amount every new home owes.
Percentage surcharges
Administration charges set as a percentage of other fees. Shown as a rate, because what they come to depends on the project.
Housing and in-lieu options
No housing or inclusionary charge is recorded for Fresno.
Confirmed absences
Fees Fresno does not charge. Each was looked for and recorded as not charged, so a builder can rely on the blank.
