Development Impact Fee Transparency & AB 602 Compliance

In September of 2021, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 602 and the Governor signed it into law. AB 602 created new requirements for development impact fees that went into effect on January 1, 2022. Specifically, the new law amends Government Code Section 65940.1 and added Section 66016.5 to impose the reporting requirements on cities, counties, and special districts. This page is a repository of all the information required to be publicly posted under AB 602.
