DEVELOPER FEE PROGRAM OFFICE (DFPO)
Overview:
Government Code Section 65995 and California Education Code Section 17620 allow school districts to levy fees on residential and/or commercial/industrial projects within a school district's boundaries. The State Allocation Board (SAB) sets the per-square-foot Level 1 school impact fees ("Developer Fees") every two years.
Developer Fees within Los Angeles Unified School District are collected by two offices: Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and the City of Los Angeles Department of Building & Safety (LADBS). The Developer Fee Program Office (DFPO) staff collects District Developer Fees on residential and commercial/industrial development projects that are within the District’s boundaries but outside the City of Los Angeles. The District entered into a contract with the City of Los Angeles to collect Developer Fees from owners/developers as a condition of the issuance of a building permit for developments within the City of Los Angeles.
Acceptable Form of Payment:
Payment for Developer Fees may be made by check (business or personal), or money order.
Hours of Collection:
The Developer Fee Office is open for collections, by appointment, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, except when closed on District holidays. Walk-in appointments will be accommodated based on availability.
