Developer Fee
Overview
Government Code Section 65995 and California Education Code Section 17620 allow school districts to levy fees on residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects within a school district’s boundaries. The State Allocation Board sets the per square foot Level I school impact fees, also known as developer fees, every two years at its January meeting in even numbered years (for example, 2010 and 2012). Alternative school fees, also known as Level II or Level III fees, may also be collected by the District if certain requirements are met.
Notice to Public
All new housing and remodeling projects are approved by the City of Bellflower Planning and Building Department. The City of Bellflower issues a construction permit once all fees have been paid by the developer. These include the developer impact fees collected by Bellflower Unified School District.
