“This program allows residential and non-residential developers to defer eligible impact fees normally paid at the time of building permit issuance to the earlier of final inspection, issuance of temporary or final certificate of occupancy, or one-year from the date the fee deferral application was approved.”

City of Rancho Cordova, the agency that levies it

“The fee program was updated in April 2013 and combined fee components from the City's 2004 and 2005 Fee Studies into a single fee category while continuing to report the library fee separately since the City is holding these funds on behalf of the Sacramento Public Library Authority.”

“When the City no longer needs the funds for the purposed collected, or if the City fails to make required findings or perform certain administrative tasks prescribed by AB1600, the City may be required to refund, on a prorated basis, to property owners of the properties upon which the fees for the improvement were imposed, the monies collected for that project and any interest earned on those funds.”
