What it pays for

“In order to fund the construction of Fire Station No. 71, the Fontana Public Financing Authority issued Taxable Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds on December 8, 2010, in the amount of $5,420,000. These bonds were refinanced in November 2021 through the issuance of the City's 2021A Lease Revenue Bonds in the amount of $23,125,000 which will also fund Fire Stations No. 80 and 81 as well as the Fire Protection District Training Facility. Bond debt service for Fiscal Year 2024/25 is $1,381,300. Fire facility fees as available will be used to service this debt obligation, with any shortfall to be paid by the Fontana Fire Protection District.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

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.
