In order to finance the construction or reconstruction of school facilities needed to accommodate increased student enrollment resulting from new development, the governing Board may establish, levy, and collect developer fees on residential, commercial, and industrial construction within the District, subject to restrictions specified by law.
In 1987, the Board of Education enacted developer fees to defray the costs of providing additional classroom facilities to serve student enrollment growth resulting from new development. Effective May 15, 2022, the fee was revised to $2.87 per square foot for residential developments and $0.47 per square foot for commercial developments.
