(AB 1600), which allows local jurisdictions to establish Land Development Fees, the County of Santa Barbara has adopted several fee programs to fund needed public infrastructure.  Some of the established fee programs are imposed countywide, while others apply to specific geographical areas (e.g., community planning area) within the County.
