Pre-Qualification
Development School Impact Fees
Background
In the state of California new school construction projects are funded on a 50/50 State and local school district matching basis through the School Facility Program (SFP), which was established in 1998. Districts that can establish a need by completing an annually updated fee justification study, are authorized to collect school impact fees on new residential and commercial/industrial development in accordance with Education Code Section 17620 and Government Code Section 65995. The development school impact fees are intended to provide the local school district’s 50% share of the cost of new school construction.
Current Rates
Residential development = $6.34 per square foot
Commercial development = $0.66 per square foot
(Fees are updated periodically and approved by the EGUSD Board of Education.)
Payment Process
Please note that pursuant to Education Code Section 17620, our local building departments may not issue a building permit for any construction within the District’s boundaries until the District has executed a Certificate of Compliance indicating that the developer has paid the required school fees.
- A Certificate of Compliance Form is obtained from the local Building Department with Part II completed.
- The applicant completes Part I and submits the Certificate of Compliance form to Elk Grove Unified School District’s Facilities and Planning Department with the appropriate fee payment.
- The District will complete Part III and certify on the form that payment has been made.
- The applicant submits a copy of the completed Certificate of Compliance to their Building Department to obtain a building permit.

Mello-Roos Tax Information
In April 1987, nearly 75% of voters in Elk Grove Unified School District approved a $70,000,000 bond to help finance schools and related facilities. By approving this measure, the voters authorized District administrators to sell bonds and agreed to a Mello-Roos special property tax assessment for repayment of the bond debt. In March 1998, an additional $205,000,000 bond amount was approved by more than 80% of voters. The current rate and method of assessing the special tax is available here.
The special tax is levied against all taxable land within the District until all of the Mello-Roos bond debt has been repaid. Residents of the District who are at least 65 years of age or disabled have the option of applying annually for a 70% reduction in the amount of the special tax. Application – Senior-Disabled MelloRoos Tax Reduction.
