In order to stimulate economic development within the City of Stockton, the City Council adopted a fee deferral program for commercial and industrial buildings. Rather than paying "development fees" at the time a building permit is issued, the developer of a qualified nonresidential project may elect to defer a portion of those fees.
"Development Fees" (Public Facilities Fees) that may qualify for deferral under this payment option include: |
- City Office Space
- Fire Stations
- Libraries
- Police Station Expansion
- Street Improvements
- Traffic Signal
- Sewer Connection
- Water Connection (City of Stockton service area only)
|
| The interest rate for all programs is the Federal Home Loan Bank Board's 11th District Cost of Funds July rate, plus one percentage point. For all programs, a deed of trust or other acceptable security equal or greater than the value of the deferral is required. |
| Enterprise Zone Programs |
Projects must be located within the Stockton/San Joaquin Enterprise Zone and the City of Stockton.
Five-year Program
To be eligible for this program, the total qualified Public Facilities Fees must be $20,000 or greater. |
- Down Payment - 20% of qualifying fees, plus all other fees due at time of permit issuance.

|
