Government Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If a city or town helps pay for a builder to install pipes or other things that can be used by more people than just the builder, they can charge others for using it.
•The charge has to be fair and reasonable.
•This is only for things that help more people, not just the builder's own property.

Example

A builder puts in a new sewer line with help from the city, and this line can also be used by nearby houses.

The city can charge those nearby houses a fair fee for using the new sewer line because the city helped pay for it.
