Public Facilities Impact Fee (PFIF)

“The purpose of the Public Facilities Impact Fees stems from the County General Plan policies to mitigate the impacts of new development through fair share payment for the construction of a range of public facilities for general administration, jails and public protection, health and human services, public works, agriculture, etc.”

“Facilities to be funded under the Fee Program include expansion and construction of office space, libraries, adult and juvenile detention facilities, health and human services space, social service facilities, communications/dispatch equipment, warehouse, animal services facilities, vehicles and related furnishings and equipment.”

“The PFIF applies to the unincorporated areas of Placer County, and it was subsequently adopted in the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn, Colfax, and the Town of Loomis. On January 23, 2007, Placer County adopted an additional fee for animal services in the unincorporated area, which was later adopted by the City of Colfax.”

“The Public Facilities Impact Fee (PFIF) was adopted by Ordinance 4769-B on October 15, 1996, and was first collected in 1997, to mitigate impacts of new development on County facilities.”

“The PFIF is imposed as part of the approval process for new residential and non-residential construction.”

“Collecting agencies levy a charge of 2.5% for administration of the Public Facilities Impact Fee Program. This amount offsets the cost for collection of the Fee, accounting for and reporting the collections to the County, and administrative duties.”

“In FY 2024-25, there were no refunds made pursuant to Section 66001 subdivisions (e) and (f).”

“The County Fee was implemented at 50% beginning on February 1, 1997, and at 100% effective January 1, 1998. Adoption of the Fee became effective with Fee collection at 100% for residential development by the cities of Rocklin and Roseville in July 2000, the City of Lincoln on April 25, 2001, the Town of Loomis on March 10, 2001, and the City of Auburn on January 28, 2002. Fee collection for non-residential development in each of these cities began at 50% effective January 1, 2002, increasing to 100% effective January 1, 2004.”
