The record
fire stations and apparatus required by new development
“The purpose of the Placer County Fire Facilities Impact Fee is to provide funding for additional fire stations and apparatus (vehicles and equipment) that are required as a direct result of the increase in fire service demand resulting from new development.”
“The fee includes a fire service area of approximately 475 square miles in the central and western portions of unincorporated Placer County not covered by an independent fire protection district.”
1996-07-16 (Resolution 96-217); code framework 1990-08-28
“The Fire Facilities Impact Fee was originally approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board) on July 16, 1996, by Resolution 96-217. An updated nexus study with applicable rate adjustments was approved by the Board on September 24, 2024, by Resolution 2024-181.”
“If adopted by the County Board of Supervisors, the proposed PCF Fire Fee will be charged to future development in the Fire Fee Area only. Expected development in the Major Development Projects will not be required to pay the proposed PCF Fire Fee and instead will mitigate their impact through development agreements.”
