City of Stockton, the agency that levies it
“The City of Stockton collects fees when it issues building permits for the purpose of mitigating impacts caused by new development on certain public facilities. The fee revenue is then used to finance the acquisition, construction, and improvement of public facilities needed as a result of new development.”
“As a result of the various fee reduction programs implemented, the collection of administrative fees is also reduced in a manner consistent with the applicable reduced/waived PFF fee categories.”
“From 2010 to 2015, the total amount of reductions granted under the Economic Recovery Incentive Program was $5,978,085.46 for residential ..., $922,241.51 for non-residential developments, and $239,227.37 for the Administrative Fee.”
