In 1986, the California Legislature authorized school districts to levy impact or developer fees on residential and commercial/industrial development for the purpose of funding the construction or reconstruction of school facilities.  The basis of the school facilities legislation is the relationship between new development, and the impact on school districts to provide adequate school facilities for the student population new development generates.  The authority for the District's assessment of developer fees is set forth in Education Code Section 17620.
 
Government Code Section 65852.2 effective January 1, 2020, amends how impact or development fees can be levied on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) under 750 square feet.  However, this law expressly applies only to cities, counties, water districts, and special districts. School districts do not fall into any of these categories.
