Development Mitigation

All new residential and commercial construction requires that a Mitigation Amount (Developer Fees) be paid to Pleasanton Unified School District before a County or City of Pleasanton building permit will be issued.

To process and pay Developer Fees, please complete the following steps:

Email a copy of your plans to developerfees@pleasantonusd.net and ccalderan2@pleasantonusd.net. Include the B25- number assigned by the City of Pleasanton or the BLD2025 number assigned by the County, your additional square footage amount and the project address.  Please include your name, address, phone number and email address.
  2. When your plans are received, you will be notified of the total amount due and you can send  the Acknowledgment/Certification form with Section 1 and Section 2 completed via email to developerfees@pleasantonusd.net .
  3. The District can accept online payments or cashier/certified checks as a form of payment.  Request an invoice via email for online payments.
  4. For in person payments, please make your certified or cashiers check payable to Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD). Payments of $8,000 and above will require a certified/cashiers check. 
  5. After the Acknowledgment/Certification form is signed and the payment is received and cleared, you will receive the original Acknowledgment/Certification form to take to the City of Pleasanton, along with a copy of the form and your check for your records.
