Development Impact Fee (DIF)
Impact fees are charges paid by new developments to help cover the cost of public services and facilities needed as communities grow. These fees help ensure that new buildings and residents contribute to the cost of services such as roads, parks, fire protection, and other public amenities.

The County of San Benito has had a Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program since the late 1980s. This program collects impact fees from new development to help fund essential public services and facilities. These include drainage, traffic and roads, fire protection, law enforcement, jails, parks and recreation, libraries, habitat conservation, general government buildings, and information technology.
