Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Mitigation Fee Update
Development fees that fund the regional Stephens' Kangaroo Rat habitat plan haven't moved since 1996. The update keeps single-family homes at $250 but raises the fee on other development from $500 to $900 an acre and agricultural land to $500 — a modest cost on new projects that keeps the city in the regional plan.
