Development Impact Fee Reporting (AB 1600)
Community development fees are a monetary exaction, other than a tax or special assessment, which is charged by a local governmental agency to an applicant in connection with approval of a development project. The purpose of these fees is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project.
The legal requirements for enactment of a development impact fee program are set forth in California Government Code sections 66000- 66025 (the “Mitigation Fee Act”), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 and thus are commonly referred to as “AB 1600 requirements.” Each fiscal year the City publishes a Development Impact Fee Report meeting the reporting requirements of both California Government Code Section 66006(b) and 66001(d).
