Countywide Development Impact Fee

“New residential and non-residential development will generate additional residents and employees who will require additional public facilities provided by Yuba County. … A reasonable relationship exists between the need for County public facilities and the type of development projects on which the Development Impact Fees are imposed as indicated by the Development Impact Fee Justification Study. Development Impact Fees collected from each new development will generate revenue, which is necessary to offset development's impacts to the County's facilities.”

“Each component of the Development Impact Fees and the Drainage Fees received by the County shall be deposited into separate trust funds in a manner to avoid any co-mingling of the Fees with other revenues and funds of the County … Establishment of trust funds shall be for the following categories identified in Development Impact Fee Justification Study: Transportation, Law Enforcement, General Government, Quality of Life (combines the previously separate Library trust fund with Parks and Recreation), Health and Social Services, Criminal Justice, and Drainage.”
