Library Construction + Library Books/Media (DIF)

“The purpose of this fee is to generate revenue to fund the construction of new libraries needed to serve new development. These facilities are distinguished by having separate facilities serving Eastern and Western Riverside County in contrast to facilities serving the entire county. A fee schedule is presented based on the existing value per capita of library facilities.”

“The purpose of this fee is to generate revenue to fund the library books and other materials (volumes) needed to serve new unincorporated area development in Riverside County. An impact fee that would enable the Riverside County Public Library System to maintain the current standard of books per capita is presented.”

“The County currently has no agreements with its constituent cities to collect any portion of DIF fees on the County's behalf and County DIF fees are only collected on new development occurring in the unincorporated areas of the County.”
