Regional Levee DIF - City of Live Oak

Sutter Butte Basin Regional Levee Improvement Development Impact Fee (Regional LDIF)

The Sutter Butte Basin Regional Levee Improvement Development Impact Fee is intended to provide funding to implement Urban Level of Protection (200-Year) in the Urban (Northern) portion of the Sutter-Butte Basin and 100-Year protection in the rural (Southern) portion of the Basin. The fee is being administered by the Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency (SBFCA) member Agencies, including the City of Live Oak.

As the City of Live Oak lies entirely within the Sutter Butte Basin, the Regional Levee DIF will apply to all Planned Development in the City. Planned Development is defined as all development that is required to obtain a building permit. At the option of the Land Use Agencies within the Basin, the fee may be calculated and collected either prior to issuance of a building permit or prior to building permit final and/or issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The Fee will be charged at the then current rate at the time of calculation.  The City of Live Oak requires payment prior to issuance of a Building Permit.
