Laguna Ridge Park Fee Programs

In 2006, the City established the Laguna Ridge Park Fee Program, provides funding for development of major park facilities that support the Laguna Ridge area, including a portion of the Civic Center complex and a portion of the Bartholomew Sports Park. This fee was last updated in 2019.

In October 2009, the City Council directed the creation of a Parks Improvement Fee to cover the acquisition, design, and construction of local, neighborhood, and other community parks within the Specific Plan. This fee was first adopted in September 2011 and was last updated in 2019. By adopting the Parks Fee, the City (along with its parks partner the Cosumnes Community Services District) took over responsibility for design and construction of the parks within the Specific Plan.

Note: Please see the City's Fee Booklet for current values on the Parks Fee.
