Properties and land being developed in the City of San Diego are assessed an amount for public facilities. The assessment is
determined by the type, size, and location of the development for the permit being issued. Monies collected are placed in a City
special fund by community, to be used solely for those major public facilities shown in the financing
plan for each community.
In addition to the information provided below, please be sure to visit your community for additional
community-specific fees that may also apply.

Facilities Benefit Assessments (FBA)
A Facilities Benefit Assessment (FBA) generally provides 100% of funds for public facilities projects which service a
designated area of benefit and are identified in the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP). The dollar amount of the
assessment is based upon the cost of each public facility equitably distributed over a designated area of benefit in the
community planning area. Fees will be paid on the actual development when permits are issued.

Development Impact Fees (DIF)
Within urbanized communities which are near buildout, Development Impact Fees (DIF) are collected to mitigate the impact of
new development through provisions of a portion of the financing needed for public facilities identified in the Public
Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) and to maintain existing levels of service for that community. Upon determination of the
area of benefit and community buildout population, the estimated cost to construct the facilities is divided amongst
residential and nonresidential development.

- Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program Fees (RTCIP)
The Facilities Financing Section assesses the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program Fees (RTCIP). These
fees were adopted by Resolution #303554 on April 14, 2008. This fee is applicable only on new residential development.
On-site Affordable (low income) units may be exempt from the RTCIP fee. These fees were established to ensure that new
development directly invests in the region's transportation system to offset the negative impact of growth on congestion
and mobility. This fee: $2231 per single-family unit and $1865 per multi-family unit, will be in addition to Development
Impact Fees or Facilities Benefit Assessment Fees. More info
