San Joaquin County ReBLD / REAP 2.0 Fee Waiver Incentive Program

How it works

San Joaquin County says its Revitalization for Buildings, Land, and Dwellings (ReBLD) program is a new initiative made possible by California’s REAP 2.0 grant. The County Community Development Department manages it, and the program is aimed at helping property owners in unincorporated urban areas near Stockton restore substandard homes and/or construct accessory dwelling units by offering fee waiver incentives for affordable housing.

What the program may include

The County says program benefits may include:

• property management through receivership
• fee waivers
• streamlined permits and use of pre-approved plans
• accessory dwelling unit plans
• guidance from County staff through the rebuild process

Important cost note

The page states that only CDD fees can be waived. Fees required by other County departments or agencies may still apply, including fire fees, school fees, and fees charged by Public Works and Environmental Health.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state a closing date. It does say that qualifying projects that receive a fee waiver must enter into an agreement with the County through the CDD Director to commit to affordable housing for a predetermined length of time.
