Purpose of Fee If fees are collected in lieu of land dedication, they are used for acquisition, improvement, and expansion of park, playground and recreational facilities or the development of public school grounds.
Description of Fee Currently applied to subdivision projects. Land dedication, or a combination of fee and land dedication may be required. The number of acres and/or dollar amount is calculated by either the appraised value of the land, or by a set amount associated with the planning area within which the development is located (See Table). When land is dedicated, the developer is required to complete public improvments. When a fee is paid in lieu of land dedication, an additional 20% is charged to cover public improvements. In lieu fees must be spent within the planning area where they are collected.
