Coverage & caveats

Source of truth: City of Roseville "Residential Development Fees" booklet, effective July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 (adopted by City Council; annual inflation adjustment). All city-controlled fees below are quoted verbatim from that booklet and are HIGH confidence. REPRESENTATIVE CASE: Single-family detached, ~2,000-2,500 sq ft, low-density residential (LDR). Several Roseville fees vary by location (benefit district / specific-plan area), housing density, water pressure zone, or home size. Where a fee is location- or zone-tiered, I selected a broadly applicable representative row as primary and marked mutually-exclusive variants excludeFromTotal=true with a note. TRAFFIC: Roseville layers MULTIPLE additive traffic fees on each unit: City Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF), Highway 65 JPA, SPRTA Regional, City/County Traffic Mitigation, and (in some western specific plans only) SPRTA Tier II. These are additive, not mutually exclusive. I used the "Infill" benefit district NET amounts (a citywide-applicable case) as primary: City TMF net $6,938.23 + Hwy 65 JPA $324.91 + SPRTA Regional $945.00 + City/County $83.39 = $8,291.53 total per SFD (this matches the booklet's printed "Total Net" of $8,291.53 for the Infill district exactly, confirming no double-counting). Newer western specific plans (e.g. Sierra Vista/Westbrook, Creekview, Amoruso) also pay SPRTA Tier II ($8,687/DUE residential) and have different TMF credits; I included Tier II as an excluded row to show it exists. DRAINAGE: Two separate drainage-fee systems by watershed - "Dry Creek" (per new unit, varies by subshed $371.38-$1,275.41) and "Pleasant Grove Creek" ($643.79/unit LDR). I used Pleasant Grove Creek LDR as primary and included a Dry Creek subshed (Dry Ck. Main Stem, low density $371.38) as an excluded alternative. Only one applies depending on parcel watershed. PARKS: Citywide Park Fee + Neighborhood Park Fee are both charged and vary by specific-plan area (Appendix N). I used the "Infill" rows (Citywide $2,897 + Neighborhood $1,551 = $4,448 SFD) as primary representative. In-lieu/bike-trail/paseo/pool/open-space park fees apply only per specific development agreement and are area-specific (omitted as primary). WATER: Water Connection Fee tiered by density - LDR $12,688 (primary), MDR $7,614, HDR $5,074 (mutually exclusive; MDR/HDR excluded). Additional water-pressure-zone and waterline-reimbursement fees (PZ2, PZ4, NI for NC, NUR for NC, Foothills, Doctor's Ranch) are PARCEL-SPECIFIC assessments that apply only in named specific-plan areas and are mutually exclusive by location - all omitted/excluded (e.g., Doctor's Ranch $1,274.69/unit shown as excluded example). Water Meter Fee ($409.09) and Water Use/construction fee ($75) are additive and included. SEWER: Regional Sewer Connection Fee $9,858/unit (Regional Treatment Plant service area, additive) + Local Sewer Connection Fee $460/unit (additive). Sewer Special Benefit Area #3 ($697) and #4 ($7,765) apply only to named affected parcels - excluded. SCHOOL FEES (separate districts, NOT city-controlled): City of Roseville does not set or collect school fees; the applicable school district collects them directly. A SFD pays BOTH an elementary district AND the Roseville Joint Union High School District (RJUHSD). Statewide Level 1 statutory cap is $5.38/sf residential as of Jan 28, 2026 (was $5.17). RJUHSD's published statutory high-school portion is $2.14/sf where no agreement exists; most Roseville specific-plan areas are covered by Mutual Benefit (mitigation) Agreements with much higher per-DU fees (RJUHSD alone $6,300-$13,300/DU in many specific plans). I captured the RJUHSD statutory $2.14/sf (high confidence, exact quote, high-school portion only) and an excluded mitigation-agreement example ($13,269/DU). OTHER CITY FEES INCLUDED: Public Facilities Fee (city capital/general - SFD LDR $4,042), Placer County Public Facilities Impact Fee (county fee collected by city - SFD $2,788.35), Electric Backbone Impact Fee ($595.56 SFD - Roseville municipal electric utility), Solid Waste Impact Fee ($410 SFD). Fire Service Construction Fee (valuation x 0.005) and General Plan Update Fee are valuation-based (omitted as fixed-dollar rows). CATEGORIES THAT DO NOT EXIST / NOT SEPARATELY ITEMIZED for Roseville residential: No standalone POLICE impact fee. No standalone LIBRARY impact fee. No standalone citywide AFFORDABLE HOUSING in-lieu fee (only via specific development agreements). No general environmental/open-space citywide impact fee. Mello-Roos/CFD special taxes out of scope. Building permit fee, plan review, strong motion tax, technology fee (3%) are regulatory/permit fees (omitted). ADU: Per CA Gov. Code 65852.2, ADUs under 750 sq ft are exempt from impact fees statewide; ADUs >=750 sq ft are charged impact fees proportional to the primary dwelling. No separate flat ADU figure published, so no ADU fee row asserted. VERIFY: confirmed 27 of 27 rows (every amount AND sourceQuote verified verbatim against the cited PDFs); dropped 0. The Roseville Residential Fee Booklet PDF, the RJUHSD Schedule of Developer Fee Agreements PDF (Revised 06/15/2026), and the AALRR $5.38/sf statutory alert were all re-fetched and confirmed. The booklet's printed Infill "Total Net" of $8,291.53 independently confirms the four additive traffic rows are not double-counted. excludeFromTotal corrections: (1) Public Facilities Fee Multi-Family HDR $2,694 - flipped to excludeFromTotal=true (multifamily variant, not part of the SFD representative total); (2) Placer County Impact Fee Multi-Family $2,032.09 - flipped to excludeFromTotal=true (multifamily variant); (3) Electric Backbone Impact Fee $595.56 - recategorized from miscategorized "police" to "other" and flipped to excludeFromTotal=false (it is a genuine additive impact fee paid on every new SFD electric connection; the only reason it had been excluded was the "police" miscategorization, now corrected). effectiveDate correction: RJUHSD mitigation-agreement example ($13,269/DU) changed from 2026-08-10 to 2026-07-01 (the RJUHSD PDF states mitigation agreements are effective July 1, 2026, while residential statutory fees are effective August 10, 2026). The $5.38/sf statutory cap effective date is more precisely "60 days after each district's board approval" (board approved 1/28/2026) rather than a hard statewide date, but the $5.38 and prior $5.17 figures are confirmed verbatim.

All city fees verified from the FY2025-26 Residential Fee Booklet (effective 7/1/2025): Public Facilities Table 1, Placer County Table 6, Water Connection Table 2, Electric Backbone Table 7, Solid Waste Table 8, Regional/Local Sewer calculation lines, Water Meter $409.09 and Water Use $75 calculation lines, Traffic Appendix M (Infill benefit district, net of credits; printed Total Net $8,291.53), Drainage Appendix L (Pleasant Grove Creek LDR + Dry Creek Main Stem alt), Park Appendix N (Infill row). School high-school statutory $2.14/sf and mitigation example from RJUHSD Schedule of Developer Fee Agreements (Revised 06/15/2026). Statutory $5.38/sf cap from AALRR legal alert. Representative SFD ~2,000-2,500 sf, LDR. Fixed-dollar included rows total ~$44,709/DU plus the per-sqft RJUHSD statutory school fee; specific-plan/mitigation-agreement areas can be substantially higher.
