APS School Facility Fee Frequently Asked Questions
What is the School Facility Fee?
A school facility fee must be paid to the Albuquerque Public Schools for any person(s) applying for a building permit for construction of a new single or multi-family residential building(s) on lots platted within the City of Albuquerque after October 31, 2006. These fees will help with the construction and maintenance of new and existing schools within the APS district.
Whom does it affect?
The school facility fee applies to new residential construction for single-family houses, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, etc. This does not affect permits for non-residential commercial properties (office, retail, etc), additions, or renovations. For single or multi-family residential lots platted after October 31, 2006, you will have to pay a school facility fee for each residential unit being constructed. For single or multi-family residential lots platted on or before October 31, 2006, you will be exempt from the school facility fee. Note: If you are exempt, you will still have to obtain the School Facility Fee Payment Acknowledgement form (which will reflect your exemption of payment) for each building permit application.
