what the document says

by resolution — rate changes take effect only on approval by the Board of Education; no index is named in any instrument read. The statutory CEILING is separately adjusted by the State Allocation Board every even-numbered January on the RS Means Class B index (quoted in notes), but the fee itself moves only by Board action.

The record

Why it exists

“The purpose of collecting fees on residential and commercial/industrial development is to acquire funds to construct or reconstruct school facilities to accommodate the students generated by new residential and commercial/industrial developments and maintain existing levels of service due to increased demand on the school facilities as a result of new development within the District's boundaries.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
