Fire District Impact Fee

“Purpose: To ensure that the fire impact fees applied to new development will mitigate the direct and cumulative impacts of new development on fire protection services and that all new development pays for its "fair share" of the cost of new infrastructure, facilities, and equipment commensurate with an accepted fire protection level of service.”

“The purpose of the El Dorado County Fire Protection District's Fire Development Impact Fee (Fire 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. El Dorado County Fire Protection District first approved a Development Impact fee in 1985. The Fire Fee was last updated on June 29, 2021.”

“The proposed impact fee will be charged to all future development District wide which includes development within the City of Placerville. Because only Counties and Cities have the authority to impose development impact fees, the recommended fees must be adopted by both the County of El Dorado and the City of Placerville.”
