Fee Calculations
Re-description of Boundary?
- File new boundary.
- Fee based on acreage and, if
applicable, areas of exclusion.
SLIDE 59 Fee Calculations
Annex Blue District Annex Red District & Formation of Zone
SLIDE 60 Fee Calculations
Is area already in Blue District? YES.
Use Red boundary to determine the fee.
Annex Blue District Annex Blue District and Red District & Formation
(Considered ONE single area.)
SLIDE 61 Fee Calculations
Is area already in Blue District? NO.
File each area separately.
Annex Blue = fee based on Blue acreage. Annex Red District and Formation of Zone = fee based on Red acreage. (Considered TWO single areas.)
SLIDE 62 Fee Calculations
Is area already in Blue District? NO.
Calculate portion of Blue as an exclusion.
Blue and Red & Formation
Portion excluded from Blue = fee based on acreage of each excluded area
= fee based on coterminous boundary of an existing district. (Considered TWO single areas.)

Fee Calculations
Jurisdictional Requirements, Page 7:
SLIDE 64
Another Fee Calculation Example:
A district is formed coterminous with a city boundary and contains 2 areas of exclusion (4 acres and 7 acres). What’s the fee?
Fee Calculations
How many areas?
SLIDE 65 How many areas?
Fee Calculations
The answer is: THREE.
Even though the area is actually just one big area (the city and 2 areas of exclusion that are fully within the city), there are 3 fees because of a difference in how the district is handled within each area. The city portion is not paying a fee based on acreage because its fee is based on an established boundary that does not need to be newly plotted on TRA maps.
SLIDE 66
How many areas?
Fee Calculations
SLIDE 67
How many areas?
Fee Calculations
SLIDE 68 Additional County Fee = $300
- Pay when affected area extends into bordering
county or counties. $300 per additional county.
Fee Calculations
2000 acres = $3500 Add’l County = $300 TOTAL FEE = $3800
SLIDE 69 Additional County Fee = $300
- County B is filing an annexation in County A.
File the BOE-400 for County A. No additional county fee.
Fee Calculations
100 acres = $1500 Add’l County = $300 TOTAL FEE = $1500
SLIDE 70 Additional County Fee = $300
- County A is filing a multi-area annexation that
also includes County B.
Fee Calculations
Option 1: File separately in each
- county. No add’l county fee.
County A: 100 acres = $1500 25 acres = $1200 TOTAL = $2700 County B: 80 acres = $1500 80 acres = $1500 TOTAL = $3000
SLIDE 71 Additional County Fee = $300
- County A is filing a multi-area annexation that
also includes County B.
Fee Calculations
Option 2: File one BOE-400. Include additional county fee. County A: 100 acres = $1500 25 acres = $1200 County B: 80 acres = $1500 80 acres = $1500 Add’l Co. Fee = $300 TOTAL = $6000
SLIDE 72 NO MAP NEEDED:
- Consolidation per resolution = $300
- Entire District Transactions = $300
- Coterminous Transaction = $300
- District Dissolution/Removal from Roll = $0
- Name Change = $0
Fee Calculations
We have more to cover. But before we move on, any questions on fees?
SLIDE 73
Fee Deferrals
SLIDE 74
Fee Deferrals
SLIDE 75
– due at the time of filing – or within 30 days of the initial deferral letter.
– once the district receives its first revenue.
– will result in the district being removed from the assessment roll.

Island Annexations
SLIDE 77
Not Listed in Fee Chart: ISLAND ANNEXATIONS
Island Annexations
SLIDE 78 Island Annexations
- What is an island annexation?
– A district looks like Swiss cheese and needs to fill in any number of holes.
Must include entire island area. Portions of an island do not qualify as an island annexation.
SLIDE 79 Island Annexations
- Islands must be completely surrounded by
district boundary or same district type.
– Cities, Fire Districts, etc.
SLIDE 80 Island Annexations
- Written description not needed.
- Simple vicinity map showing existing district
boundary and islands to be annexed.
- Basic “close-up” map showing each island area
and APN’s.
SLIDE 81
Island Annexations
SLIDE 82
Island Annexations
SLIDE 83 Island Annexations
- Fee based on acreage of all island areas to be
annexed.
Area 1 = 2 acres Area 2 = 5 acres Area 3 = 8 acres TOTAL FEE = 15 combined acres = $800 (If filed separately, would be $1200.)
Almost done. But before we move on, any questions on island annexations?

Mapping – Best Practices
SLIDE 85 Mapping – Best Practices
- Show existing district boundary that is near or
adjacent to the affected area.
– Prevents erroneous gaps/overlaps. – Clear “intent”.
SLIDE 86
Mapping – Best Practices
SLIDE 87 Mapping – Best Practices
Courses numbered, APN’s in affected area, existing district boundary.
SLIDE 88 Mapping – Best Practices
Shows nearby section corner, legend clearly describes features and intent.
SLIDE 89 Mapping – Best Practices
- Refer to BOE’s TRA data and maps, available
- nline.
– Reconcile discrepancies before finalizing a map.
- PARCEL SPLIT BY TRA • RTC 606 • RIGHTS-OF-WAY •
- SECTION LINES • RANCHOS • DEEDS •
- DIGITIZING ERRORS •
SLIDE 90
Mapping – Best Practices
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 606:
SLIDE 91 Mapping – Best Practices
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 606: In certain situations, RTC Section 606 allows the assessor to use one TRA for a parcel that is split by more than one TRA.
- BOE will still show the parcel in each TRA.
SLIDE 92 Mapping – Best Practices
TRA line exists along the centerline of the river. TRA line not shown on assessor’s map. Property Detail Report shows APN 167-081-006 is in TRA 057-019.
SLIDE 93
- APN from assessor = BOE TRA???
– Don’t derive district boundaries from this info. – RTC 606 will cause a difference between filed boundary and assessment boundary. – Could result in district gaps (erroneous islands).
