Shasta County Board of Supervisors are set to consider on January 9, 2024, a motion to be the first California municipality to terminate development impact fees in an effort to stimulate the local economy and housing affordability.
Home builders and trades people have complained bitterly about the wide-ranging abuse by municipalities in projecting huge population growth to justify blatantly overcharging impact fees.
The Three Conservative County Supervisors Patrick Jones, Chris Kelstrom and Kevin Crye who ended the corrupt Dominion Election voting system will fight against two rino-republicans to end decades of county financial abuses Supervisors Mary Rickert and Tim Garman.
“Very interesting to watch this play out in Shasta County now in 2024. We watched the rampant corruption and voter fraud led by Kathy Darling Allen Shasta County Clerk/Registrar of Voters and corrupt county employees working side by side with the corrupt supervisors during the 2020 and 2022 elections. New California State conducted field hearings December 3, and 5, 2020 and witness after witness validated the election fraud. Shasta County Patriots came together and forced many of the corrupt officials out of office (including a successful recall of a county supervisor) all except for Allen.
Then the supervisors as a reward to Allen for her corrupt practices to insure their jobs gave her a $40k plus pay raise. Allen who is the Shasta County Clerk/Registrar of Voters then counted her own votes in the 2022 election and shockingly won with over 60% of the vote as a Democrat in a strong Conservative County. Now the financial fraud…wow looks like the Great Patriots of Shasta County have more work to do.” Paul Preston, President of the Great State of New California. Agenda 21 Radio News
Shasta County began charging higher residential building development “impact fees” in 2008 after a consultant projected a 90,000 population growth, from about 177,000 to 267,000 by 2030, would require $200 million of new municipal infrastructure investment.
The California Legislature passed in 2017 AB 879 Mitigation Fee Act to regulate that each municipality must publish a new “Nexus Fee Study” and produce an updated fee study every five years to justify collecting fees.
A review by the Terner Center at the University of California Berkeley found current average statewide impact fee is about $13,000 per single family unit and $9,000 per multi-family unit (below).
Shasta County impact fee costs at first appear to be reasonable at about $10,000 per single family unit and $9,000 per multi-family unit. Those costs per unit would be about the same as Fresno and Riverside. However, Shasta County impact fees uniquely are charged per 1,000 feet of construction. Shasta’s adjusted impact fees for a 1,250 square-foot starter house are $20,000; for a 2,200 square-foot average family house.
are $30,000; and for a 3,200 square-foot larger house are $40,000. As a result, Shasta County impact fees are some of the highest in California.
Shasta County has known since 2010 that its population projections were wildly overstated. Despite AB 879 passage in 2017, Shasta County has continued to charge very high impact fees without publishing a new fee study that would have shown the population only grew by 5,000 to 182,000.
Shasta County terminating impact fees is homeowner and renter friendly.
