SB 1036: Mitigation Fee Act.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified July 20, 2026

What SB 1036 does, verified July 20, 2026

<p>The bill amends sections of California's Government Code related to land use and mitigation fees. It requires local agencies to adjust fees for development projects that involve demolition or changes in existing uses, ensuring the fee only covers incremental impacts on public facilities or services.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill specifies how local agencies should calculate capacity charges when a change is proposed in an existing water or sewer connection's capacity. The charge must be based solely on the change and not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service. If the new capacity is less than the existing one, no refund or credit can be applied to offset other fees.</p>
