This fee's annual authority has lapsed

This is a Level 2 school facilities fee under California Government Code section 65995.5. It rests on a School Facilities Needs Analysis, and section 65995.6(f) requires that analysis to be updated every year. The most recent adoption on file gives it until 17 Sep 2026.

Unless the district has re-adopted since, the fee has reverted to the Level 1 statutory rate, which is lower. That makes this one of the few refresh risks in this index that runs downward, so the figure here may overstate rather than understate what is owed. Check the district's current schedule before relying on it.
