Fee Study 2024/2025

In 2023, a uniform fee structure was adopted by the GSA’s Board of Directors as a strategic first step to secure necessary funding for the Vina GSA’s management, operations, and SGMA compliance costs. Currently, the fee is charged to all taxable lands within the GSA boundary regardless of land use type and is calculated based on the assessed acreage indicated on the property tax bill. The fee for the fiscal year 2023/2024 was $1.54 per acre and fiscal year 2024/2025 is $2.54 per acre.

A new fee study began in 2024 to explore additional fee options that consider the diverse needs and characteristics of different groundwater users within the subbasin. Additional information and opportunities to learn more are listed in the FAQ.
