Developer Fees
Developer Fee Studies for Elementary and High School
Developer Fees increase on June 29, 2026
While Marin County’s Planning Department is correct that the definition of “local agency” under Government Code section 66000 includes school districts, Government Code 65852.2 has its own, different definition of “local agency” that does not include school districts. The definition of “local agency” contained in Government Code section 65852.2 is the definition that applies. Accordingly, the exemption is only applicable to impact fees imposed by cities or counties; it is not applicable to impact fees imposed by school districts.
Please send your complete set of plans to ebusch@srcs.org before visiting in person. Please note that most of this process can be handled via email and USPS mail.
After we have reviewed your plans, we will reach out to you to discuss the application process.
Please make checks payable to "San Rafael Elementary or High School District," or when applicable, to "Miller Creek School District".
