Fees

Permitting fees are adjusted annually. Current permitting fees are based on the Master Fee Schedule.

A permit is not valid until the required fees have been paid. In addition, outside permitting agencies may require collection of fees prior to permit issuance.

Chapter 3.20 of the Pinole Municipal Code imposes development impact fees, available in the Master Fee Schedule, on development projects to mitigate the impacts caused by new development on public services, infrastructure and facilities. Learn more about development impact fees.

 

The West Contra Costa Unified School District collects school facilities development fees for new residential, commercial and industrial construction, resulting in new assessable area. Prior to the issuance of any building permit involving development of new assessable area, the City requires proof of School District review and, when applicable, a certificate of payment issued by the District to confirm that required District development fees have been paid.

For questions about the school facilities development fees, please visit their website, contact them by phone: (510) 307-4540 or visit their office at 1400 Marina Way South in Richmond, CA 94804.
