ACEH Land Use Program Fees

Land Use Program Fee Schedule

A summary of ACEH Land Use Program fees is provided below. The minimum fees below were adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors (effective July 1, 2010), and correspond to costs associated with providing ACEH's minimum regulatory oversight steps listed in the tables on the Forms page. Actual project costs may be more or less than the minimum fees depending on the complexity or magnitude of the proposed project; documents, or lack thereof, contained in ACEH's case files; interagency coordination; the accuracy of documents submitted to ACEH for review; and the number of review cycles required during the approval process. If the initial fee deposit is depleted, an additional deposit equal to the same amount must be paid to ACEH to continue the approval and/or permitting process. Any excess funds will be refunded to you after the final action on your application.

Please note that all fees listed below are subject to change with each fiscal year.
