Coverage & caveats

All city impact fees are from the City of Clovis "Nexus Sheets for Development Impact Fees, Fiscal Year 2025-2026" (the city's current AB 602 annual fee update; the document's "Proposed Rates" column is the FY2025-26 operative schedule, effective ~July 2025). Clovis prices residential impact fees PER DWELLING UNIT (not per square foot) per its AB 602 findings. PRIMARY single_family_detached rows use: Low Density (2.1-4.0 DU/AC) tier, street/undergrounding "Area 1" (the principal new-growth area), and the base 3/4" water meter — representative of a typical ~2,000-2,500 sf detached home in a new subdivision. Categories CAPTURED (per unit unless noted): Sewer Major Facilities ($9,661 SFR), Water Major Facilities ($13,795 SFR, tiered by density), Park Acquisition & Development ($6,147), Community Sanitation/solid-waste capital ($552 SFR), Fire ($2,253), Police ($1,582), Library ($766 SFR), and the four major-street components for Area 1 (Outside Travel Lane $8,651, Center Travel Lane $2,239, Traffic Signal $933, Bridge $85), plus Utility Undergrounding (Area 1, per gross acre) and Water Meter install ($378, 3/4"). SCHOOL FEE: Clovis Unified School District (a SEPARATE district) levies a residential developer/school-facilities fee of $6.38/sq ft effective July 1, 2025 (an 8.9% increase from $5.86); for a ~2,000 sf home that is roughly $12,760 — a real, additive builder cost attributed to CUSD, not the City. CAVEATS / things that are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE or NOT per-unit: (1) Street fees and Utility Undergrounding vary by Area (1-5) and RT Park overlay — only Area 1 is the primary; Areas 2-5 / RT Park are alternatives (lower or $0) and excluded. (2) Water Major Facilities is tiered by residential density (DU/AC); the $13,795 figure covers all bands from "2.0 or less" through "4.1-4.5" DU/AC. (3) Water Supply Fee, Sewer/Water Oversize, Sewer/Water Front Footage, Non-Potable Water, and Utility Undergrounding are charged per GROSS ACRE or per LINEAR FOOT (not per dwelling unit) and additionally split by inside/outside Fresno Irrigation District (FID) — included as contextual excludeFromTotal rows since they cannot be cleanly normalized to a single per-unit number. (4) Sewer House Branch and Water Service-with-Meter are optional cost-recovery items charged only when City forces build the lateral/service (per linear foot / per each) — excluded from the per-unit total. WHAT DOES NOT EXIST / NOT FOUND for Clovis: no separate municipal "affordable housing" or "open space" or "general/capital facilities" impact fee was found in the nexus sheets (parks/library/fire/police are the public-facility fees); no standalone municipal "drainage/stormwater" impact fee appears in the FY25-26 nexus sheets (storm drainage is handled through development conditions/master-plan reimbursements rather than a citywide per-unit DIF). Mello-Roos/CFD special taxes are out of scope and excluded. Clovis offers an impact-fee DEFERRAL program (timing only, not a reduction). VERIFY (2026-06-17): independently re-fetched the primary Nexus Sheets PDF (36 pp) and extracted with pdftotext -layout; confirmed 28 of 28 rows; dropped 0. Every city amount matches the FY2025-26 "Proposed Rates" column verbatim: Sewer Major SFR $9,661 / MFR $7,825; Water Major $13,795 (2.0-or-less through 4.1-4.5 bands) and $7,654 (9.6-10.0 band); 3/4" meter $378; Park "All Residential" $6,147; Fire/Police "All Land Uses" $2,253 / $1,582; Library SFR $766 / MFR $626; Community Sanitation Single Family $552 / Multi-Family non-Res $448; Outside Travel Lane Area 1 SFR Low Density (2.1-4) $8,651 and MFR Med-High (7.1-15) $5,190; Center Travel Lane Area 1 SFR $2,239; Traffic Signal Area 1 SFR $933; Bridge Area 1 SFR $85; Utility Undergrounding Area 1 $9,119/Gr.Ac.; Water Supply Residential (2.1-4.0 DU/AC) outside FID $13,880 / inside FID $9,100 per Gr.Ac.; Sewer Oversize $1,123/Gr.Ac.; Sewer Front Footage $32.30/LF; Non-Potable Water $2,664/Gr.Ac.; Sewer House Branch 4" lateral $137/LF. School fee ($6.38/sf, up 8.9% from $5.86, effective July 1) corroborated verbatim via the Fresno Bee (AOL mirror) article; the CUSD revtrak page did not render the schedule table, so the two school rows are kept at MEDIUM confidence. excludeFromTotal corrections: none required — all per-gross-acre and per-linear-foot rows, the non-representative MFR water tier ($7,654), and the derived $12,760 per-DU school equivalent were already correctly flagged excludeFromTotal=true; the per-sqft school row ($6.38) is correctly the in-total school row to avoid double-counting. Representative SFR per-DU total of included rows = $47,042 (9,661+13,795+378+6,147+2,253+1,582+766+552+8,651+2,239+933+85), which is sane for a CA Central Valley city and contains no double-counting. Population (125,826) confirmed against Census 2024 estimate via secondary source (Census QuickFacts returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch).

Figures are the FY2025-2026 "Proposed Rates" (operative schedule) from the City of Clovis Nexus Sheets, independently verified against the source PDF on 2026-06-17. SFR = single_family_detached at Low Density (2.1-4.0 DU/AC), Area 1, 3/4" meter. MFR = multifamily, Medium-High Density (7.1-15.0 DU/AC), Area 1. The school fee is from Clovis Unified School District (separate taxing entity) and is the largest single residential fee on a per-home basis (~$12,760 for a 2,000 sf home at $6.38/sf). Representative SFR per-DU total of included rows ~$47,042 (city impact/connection fees only; excludes per-acre water supply/undergrounding and the CUSD school fee).
