Public Facilities Fee

“The PFF Program funds new development's obligations to construct public facilities serving residents and employees in the City.”

“Fee program–eligible public improvements include Police and Public Safety Facilities; General Public Facilities such as Civic Centers, Corporation Yards, and other basic infrastructure; and Community Facilities such as libraries, parks and recreation facilities, community centers, and cultural facilities.”

“Public Facilities Fee: Assessed on all applications for new construction and collected prior to permit issuance.”

“The PFF will be collected from new development in areas subject to the fee at the time of the building permit issuance; use of these funds may need to wait until a sufficient fund balance can be accrued.”

City of Roseville, the agency that levies it

“This booklet provides information about fees applicable to residential development (properties that consist of 1- and 2-family residential units) in the City of Roseville and a worksheet to calculate them. It is published by the Development Services Department and is updated in July each year, to coincide with annual inflationary fee adjustments.”

“As more specifically set forth in the authorizing ordinance, projects that rebuild or remodel without increasing the square footage of the project will be exempt from the PFF, except under the following circumstances: 1. If the development or project changes to a different land use, it shall be charged the appropriate fee for the new land use category less any PFF amount previously paid. 2. Where the development or project expands or remodels the same land use, only the expanded square footage would be subject to the PFF. 3. Remodeling or expansion of an existing dwelling unit shall be exempt from fee payments, unless additional dwelling units are added.”

“Under certain and limited circumstances, as determined by the City, the Impact Fee Resolution could allow developers subject to the fee to obtain credits, reimbursements, or exemptions. … All other fee credits, reimbursements, or exemptions should not be allowed by right but rather should be subject to review by City staff and the City Council to ensure that such credits or reimbursements are warranted and appropriate.”
