In an effort to maintain a high level of quality emergency services throughout the times of increasing service demands and decreasing revenue, the District has adopted a cost effective, specific response Cost Recovery Fee Schedule. 

Under the authority of the Health and Safety Code Section 13916, the District may charge fees to cover the cost of any service which the District provides or for enforcing any regulation for which the fee is charged.  In addition, the District may recover costs incurred responding to motor vehicle accidents under the California Vehicle Code, Section 17300-17303. The rate of user fees is based on the that which is usual, customary and reasonable.  The fees may include services, personnel, supplies and equipment utilized on emergency incidents occurring within the District.
