Does the commitment or placement of my child outside of my home cost me any money?

The California State Legislature repealed Statewide counties ability to impose Juevenile Fees that were previously authorized. The State repeal became effective January 1, 2018. Therefore, no assessments of these fees were made by Placer County effective July 1, 2017 forward.

The Juvenile Fees repealed include:  Juvenile Hall Costs of Support, Juvenile Electronic Monitoring, Juvenile Home Supervision, Juvenile Supervision, and Juvenile Drug Testing. Note that Restitution to crime victims and Restitution Fines will still be charged and collected. These items are not affected by the repeal.
