Per California Government Code Section 66315 and confirmed on Lodi's Planning FAQ, ADUs under 750 sq ft pay no city impact fees in Lodi, while ADUs of 750 sq ft or larger pay fees proportional to the primary dwelling's square footage.
California Government Code Section 66315 (formerly Gov. Code 65852.2(f)(3)) prohibits cities and counties from imposing any impact fee on ADUs of less than 750 square feet. Lodi's Planning FAQs confirm this exemption applies: 'No city-imposed impact fees for ADUs less than 750 square feet.' For ADUs of 750 sq ft or larger, Gov. Code 66315(c) limits impact fees to amounts proportional in size to the primary dwelling unit's square footage - the city may not charge full impact fees as if the ADU were a separate single-family home. Building permit and plan check fees are still charged but are tied to actual permit-processing costs rather than capital-facility impact fees. School district fees under California Education Code 17620 may still apply to ADUs over 500 sq ft, as those are imposed by the school district, not the city. County facilities fees under LMC Chapter 15.66 apply per the county facilities fee schedule.
If Lodi were to charge prohibited impact fees, the applicant could recover them under California Gov. Code 66020 (Mitigation Fee Act protest procedure). There is no enforcement action against property owners - this provision restricts the city, not the homeowner.
