Folsom, CA Development Impact Fees (2026)

Folsom, CA has TWO parallel residential impact-fee regimes. (1) CITYWIDE impact fees apply to standard development in the established city (largely north of Highway 50). These are the PRIMARY per-dwelling-unit rows below and are the figures included in the running total. (2) The FOLSOM PLAN AREA (FPA) impact fees are a SEPARATE regime for the large master-planned growth area south of Highway 50 (per FMC Ch. 3.120, Measure W); these are mutually-exclusive with the citywide fees, so all FPA rows are marked excludeFromTotal=true (a builder pays EITHER the citywide set OR the FPA set, never both). A builder in the FPA pays the FPA Specific Plan (FPASP) fee ($16,094/SFR — bundles parks, trails, police, fire, library, municipal/community center, aquatic center) PLUS FPA transportation fees (Hwy 50 Improvements $1,658, Hwy 50 Interchange $3,375, Transit $1,714, plus a Sacramento County Transportation Development Fee), Corporation Yard $1,623, and FPA Solid Waste $611 — plus the same citywide water/sewer connection fees and school fees. All citywide impact-fee amounts are taken from the City of Folsom "Developer Impact Fee Compliance 2024 / AB1600 Development Fees Annual Report for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024" (accepted by Resolution 11311, Dec 10, 2024) — the most recent full schedule available; fees are CPI-indexed annually so current (2026) amounts may be a few percent higher. Representative SFR is per-unit (Folsom's citywide impact fees are flat per dwelling unit, NOT tiered by square footage, so no size-tier selection was needed). Multifamily ("Multi-Family Residential") rows included per unit. SCHOOL FEES (separate district): Folsom lies in Folsom Cordova USD School Facilities Improvement District No. 2 (SFID 2). FCUSD's April 2025 School Facility Needs Analysis justifies a Level II developer fee of $9.96/sq ft of new residential construction in SFID 2 (Folsom) (Level I statutory residential ~$5.17/sq ft is the fallback; Level III would be $19.92/sq ft). The $9.96/sq ft Level II row is the real builder cost in Folsom and is attributed to the school district. School fee is per-square-foot, so it is NOT additively included in the per-unit total (a ~2,000 sf SFR would owe roughly $19,900 in school fees on top of city fees).

Water/sewer

Water Capital Improvement (Water Connection Fund 521) SFR = $3,813/unit (FMC 13.24.060). Sewer Capital Improvement SFR = $1,217/unit. A separate, ADDITIVE Water Impact Fund fee = $1,117/SFR (FMC 13.30.030) is also charged. Regional sewer treatment connection (Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District / SacSewer) is a separate additional charge not captured here. CATEGORIES THAT DO NOT EXIST / NOT APPLICABLE as flat residential per-unit fees: Supplemental Park Improvement fee — the schedule explicitly states "This fee is no longer charged." Housing Trust Fund fee — applies to non-residential only ($1.99/gross sq ft office/retail/industrial), NOT residential, so excluded from residential total. Inclusionary Housing in-lieu fee — formula-based (1% of lowest-priced for-sale unit × number of units; 0.5% for custom-lot subdivisions), no fixed per-unit dollar amount. Tree Planting & Replacement — $250.00 per inch mitigation in-lieu, only if protected trees are removed (conditional, not a standard per-unit fee). California does not permit a municipal "school impact fee"; school facilities fees are levied by the school district (captured above). Mello-Roos/CFD special taxes are out of scope per instructions (FPA includes substantial CFDs).

Source 2 (FCUSD 2025 SFNA) confirms verbatim "$8.16 per square foot ... SFID 1 and $9.96 per square foot of new residential construction in the SFID 2" and Level III $19.92/sq ft SFID 2; Level II board-approved 4/18/2024. Sources 1 (FMC Ch. 3.120, HTTP 200, title + Measure W present) and 3 (Resolution 11524 accepting FY2025 report, passed Dec 9, 2025) and 4 (FCUSD impact-fees webpage) all live/corroborating. excludeFromTotal corrections: none required — all MF variants, FPA-regime rows, the per-sqft school fee, and the conditional/formula Tree & Inclusionary rows were already correctly flagged excludeFromTotal=true; the 13 citywide SFR per-unit rows correctly sum to $29,948 with no category double-counted (Water Capital and Water Impact are genuinely separate FMC funds, correctly both additive). Confidence downgrade: Water Capital Improvement SFR $3,813 downgraded high->medium because the layout-text OCR of that single cell was garbled ("-$-- 3f1t"); the value is strongly corroborated by surrounding cleanly-read values (MF $2,478, commercial 3/4" meter $3,803) and the researcher's noted rendered-image cross-check, but could not be re-rendered independently here.
