Technology Fund surcharge

Levied by City of Fairfield — Community Development Department, Building Division on new development in Fairfield. Authorized under the Mitigation Fee Act - Gov. Code Sec. 66000 et seq. Collected at building permit.

Not priced for this house. This charge is real, adopted and collected, and it is left out of Fairfield's figure for one reason: it is levied as a percentage of another fee, and a typical home does not fix that quantity. That is not the same as a zero. The fee is owed; what is missing is the number to multiply by, and inventing one would price this house with more confidence and less truth. Every published rate is in the table below.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
