§ 8535 Encroachment Permit Fees

• •The board can charge fees for services like permits, inspections, and managing district property.
• •The fees must cover the actual cost of these services, not more.
• •The board must hold a public meeting before setting these fees.
• •This applies to things like building near rivers or drainage areas in Sacramento and San Joaquin.

If you want to build a fence near a river in Sacramento, you might need a permit.

The board can charge you a fee for that permit, but only enough to cover their costs like checking your plans or inspecting the work. They can't just pick any price—they have to hold a public meeting first to talk about it.
