Developer Fees

  • The Hillsborough City School District is authorized by Education Code section 17620 to levy developer fees for residential development projects within district boundaries.

    Fee Structure: 

    For new construction or additions that are over 500 square feet, a fee of $2.45 per square foot will be collected.

    Calculating Your Payment:

    To calculate your payment, simply multiply the total square footage of your project by $2.45. 

    Example: A 650 sq ft project would be calculated as: 650 sq ft × $2.45 = $1,592.50.
