During the discretionary review of a Subdivision Map (divisions of land) or use case, the project will be conditioned to pay ADP fees if located within an ADP boundary. If your Conditions of Approval include a condition to pay ADP fees or there is a note about ADP fees on the Final Map, you will need to pay your ADP fees at the time of grading or building permit issuance.

Area Drainage Plan fees are paid at the District Office. Acceptable forms of payment include Cashier’s Check, Money Order, Wire Transfer, Credit Card (service fee), Debit Card (service fee) or Electronic Check. Personal or corporate checks will not be accepted for payment. The payment should be accompanied by a copy of the final map to help determine the applicable ADP Fee Obligation.

ADP Fee Credit is earned whenever an ADP facility is constructed. Typically, the Fee Credit is applied against the Developer’s ADP Fee Obligation. In certain cases, excess ADP Fee Credit may be transferable. Please refer to the District’s “Rules and Regulations for Administration of Area Drainage Plans” for additional details.
