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
Paid instead of building something — affordable units, for instance — or measured on something the figure above does not assume. An alternative, not an addition.
Recorded gaps
Charges that exist here but whose amount could not be found in an official source. The figure above is understated by whatever they turn out to be. They are listed so that a charge we could not price is never read as a charge of nothing.
What we have, and what we don’t
All 8 kinds of fee a new home normally pays are on file for Placer County (unincorporated) and are in the figure above.
