The record
“The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development in areas where the Kern County Fire Department (KCFD) provides fire protection services funds its fair share of fire protection facilities.”
“The County will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development.”
“The fire protection fee would be charged in areas in the Kern County Fire Department (KCFD) primary service area. The KCFD primary service area covers the entire County, with the exception of military bases and areas where fire protection is provided by the Bakersfield Fire Department or the California City Fire Department.”
“Public facilities fees are one-time fees typically paid when a building permit is issued and imposed on development projects by local agencies responsible for regulating land use (cities and counties).”
“After adoption there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the fees go into effect.”
