Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (SMIP) fee
Levied by California Geological Survey on new development in Palm Desert.
Not priced for this house.
This charge is real, adopted and collected, and it is left out of Palm Desert's figure for one reason: it is levied on fraction of valuation, 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.
