Developer fees for residential and commercial development that school districts can charge are stipulated by the State Allocation Board (SAB) and adjusted in January of even numbered years in accordance with Education Code 17620 and Government Code 65995, et seq.  These fees are designated to help provide a source of revenue to meet housing needs because of student enrollment growth generated by new construction.
