School Facilities Fee - Rosedale Union SD + Kern High SD

Recorded for Kern County (unincorporated) and levied by Rosedale Union School District (Level 2 alternative fee) and Kern High School District (its allocated share of the statutory fee), with no amount we could find. Authorized under the Ed. Code Sec. 17620; Gov. Code Sec. 65995 et seq. (statutory school facilities fee).

The amount could not be retrieved. This charge exists but its published figure could not be found in an official source, so it contributes nothing to Kern County (unincorporated)'s total — which is therefore understated by whatever this fee turns out to be. It is recorded here rather than left blank, because “we could not find it” and “there is nothing to pay” are different answers.

The record

Why it exists

“the purpose of the fees remaining unexpended at the end of the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year, is to finance the construction or reconstruction of school facilities necessary to reduce overcrowding caused by the development on which the fees were levied”

RUESD Res. 2526-07, 2026-01-13, §3.C · source document ↗
What it pays for

“This fund is a Capital Facilities Fund and is used primarily to account separately for monies received from fees levied on developers (Mitigation/Developer Fees) as a condition of approving a development. Interest earned in the Capital Facilities Fund is restricted to that fund. Expenditures are restricted to the purpose of building new or maintaining existing capital facilities." / "The District plans to continue to utilize these funds to relocate, acquire, and install portable buildings, for what would otherwise be unhoused students.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
