Other fees may apply to your project. Please visit the Fees & Payments (santacruzcountyca.gov) webpage for guidance on fees applied by other departments (Childcare, Parks Dedication, School, and Fire fees.)
Your property is within the Carbonera Planning Area where capital improvement fees are due as described in on our website. Contact (831) 454-2160 for more information.
    Notes:
  1. If this box does not return a value, it is likely that your parcel number has recently changed. Try entering your old parcel number or a neighboring parcel number.
  2. Other impervious surfaces are areas that are paved, concrete, etc. Examples are driveways and concrete patios. Also note, if a square footage is added in another cell, don't duplicate it in this cell. Only enter other impervious surface area not accounted for in other cells.
    Impervious surfaces fees are automatically calculated from the values entered in other cells of this worksheet (such as "New SFD"). Please note that square footage is calculated as the footprint of the new impervious surface. For example, for a new 2000 sf two story house with 1500 sf 1st floor and 500 sf 2nd floor, only the 1500 sf footprint is counted. If your project includes a new 2 story structure or a new addition over an existing structure, enter the 2nd story area as a negative number in this cell. For the example given here, "-500" would be entered.
