Introduction and Background
The Mitigation Fee Act, as outlined in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq., establishes certain legal and procedural parameters for the charging of development impact fees.
These fees are charged to new development projects and are required to be used only for those purposes for which the fees were collected.
Requirements for Development Impact Fee Reporting
The Mitigation Fee Act imposes certain accounting and reporting requirements for the fees collected. The fees must be deposited in a special account or fund to avoid commingling the fees with other funds and must earn interest. Fees are collected pursuant to various City resolutions, conditions of approval, developer agreements, or other specific agreements. The amount of the City’s impact fees are included in the current adopted fee schedule and can be viewed on the City’s website: https://santaclarita.gov/city-fees/.
The Mitigation Fee Act requires local agencies to prepare an annual report and a five-year report that provide specific information about those fees. The City has elected to report on both requirements annually. The report is prepared for the fiscal year ending June 30 and is received and filed within 180 days of fiscal year end.
Annual Report
California Government Code Section 66006 (b) requires local agencies prepare an annual report with specific information about development impact fees. Specifically, the section requires the annual report include:

66006 (b) (1) (G): A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended; and, in the case of an interfund loan, the terms of the loan, including the repayment schedule for the loan, and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan.
66006 (b) (1) (H): The amount of refunds made due to sufficient funds being collected to complete financing of scheduled public improvements.
Five-Year Report
California Government Code Section 66006 (d) (1) requires local agencies make the following findings every fifth year for unexpended funds:
66001 (d) (1) (A): Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put. 66001 (d) (1) (B): Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and purpose for which it is charged.

Fire District developer fees finance the construction of new/replacement fire stations and related fire protection improvements within the City. The fee is typically updated annually. The Fire District developer fee is charged on new residential buildings, new detached residential accessory structures, new commercial buildings, and residential or commercial additions over 2,000 square feet. The fee is collected at the time of building permit issuance. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and its purpose because the fee is calculated to reflect the proportionate impact the development will have on fire safety facilities and service measured by the square footage of the development.
The fee is calculated in proportion to the developer’s impact of $1.5499 per square foot beginning July 1, 2024 as approved by City Council on May 14, 2024. It is consistent with the fees adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on January 30, 2024. Fees collected will be used to reimburse the Fire District for Fire Station 104 and future fire facilities when identified.
The Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee has a balance of $1,517,543. Pursuant to the Developer Fee Agreement (Agreement) No. 66785, citing the approval of the Board of Supervisors for the development of seven (7) fire stations to become operational in the Santa Clarita Valley, the City entered into a mutual agreement to reimburse the Fire District the proportional costs for developing new fire stations and purchasing apparatus with the intent to provide jurisdictional coverage within the City's boundary. As a condition of the agreed terms, the City is expected to reimburse the Fire District one hundred percent (100%) of the total development costs of Fire Station 104 to include and not limited to the apparatus purchase price, outfitting and communication costs, and all applicable firefighting and EMS equipment. As of June 30, 2025, full reimbursement payment has been made or accrued.
The City is permitted to retain a 5% admin fee for its collecting and transmitting of funds to LA County.
The estimated timing of reimbursement and cost of the project are shown below. The balance of the project cost will be fully funded with the Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee revenue.
