Construction Tax

Levied by City of Rocklin on new development in Rocklin. Authorized under the Local construction or excise tax under the jurisdiction's taxing power - NOT a Mitigation Fee Act fee. Collected at building permit.

Not priced for this house. This charge is real, adopted and collected, and it is left out of Rocklin's figure for one reason: it is levied as a percentage of another fee, 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.
