Golden Valley USD CFD 2017-1 IA1 special tax

Levied by Golden Valley Unified School District (GVUSD) — the roll line names the district; no GVUSD-issued instrument was reached levied_by_excerpt: "83310 GVUSD CFD 2017-1, IA 1" on new development in Madera County (unincorporated). Authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act - Gov. Code Sec. 53311 et seq. Collected other: annual special tax placed as a direct charge on the Madera County SECURED property tax roll.

This is an annual charge, not a one-time fee. It is levied per DU/yr, every year, for as long as the district lasts, and it goes up over time. A recurring tax is never added into a one-time total - a figure that mixes the two means nothing. This site counts the one-time charges a builder pays to put up a house, so this is not part of Madera County (unincorporated)'s figure and is not listed beside it. Every published rate is in the table below.

What “low” means, and what this fee rests on

High: We read this straight from the document that sets the fee: the city's ordinance, the council resolution, or the official fee schedule. This is the strongest kind of source, because the number and the rule come from the agency that charges it, in its own words.
Medium: We read this from an official document, but not the one that sets the fee. It might be a staff report, a study the fee was based on, or another agency's summary of it. These are usually right, but they can lag behind a change or describe a fee differently from the document that sets it. We also use medium when the agency's own documents disagree with each other.
Low: We could not find this in a current official document. It may come from an older version of the schedule, a secondary source, or from how the agency appears to apply the fee in practice. Treat it as a lead and check with the agency before relying on it.
Derived: Not read from a document at all. Filled in from the type of fee, such as which law authorizes it. Shown separately so it is never mistaken for a quotation.
