Prices per ton recorded by the district under Health & Safety Code §40709.5:
| Pollutant | Year | Median $/t | Range | Trades* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOx | 2023 CARB | $125,000 | $125,000 | 2 |

No ROG / VOC or CO transaction is on record for Santa Barbara County APCD in the 2022 or 2023 statewide reports or in the district transaction records the Exchange holds. For a reference point: 2023 ROG / VOC medians elsewhere in California ran from $1,100 (Imperial County) to $174,845 (San Joaquin Valley); the only 2023 CO trades recorded statewide were in Yolo-Solano, at a median of $3,400 per ton. Credits only work in the district that banked them, so local scarcity, not the statewide range, sets the price here. All recorded prices.
Arithmetic only — the recorded volume multiplied by the Santa Barbara County median price recorded for each pollutant in 2023. Not an appraisal, an offer, or a prediction; actual bids depend on the buyer's permit deadline, the lot size, how many trades the median rests on, and what else is available in the district.
| Pollutant | Volume | × recorded median | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| NOx | 12.65 t | $125,000/t | $1.6M |
The buyer and holder agree a price privately. The transfer package — the holder's authorization, the purchase agreement, and the district's transfer forms — goes to Santa Barbara County APCD, which verifies the banked reductions, records the transfer, and re-issues the certificate (or the remaining balance) in the buyer's name. Credits are generally usable only inside Santa Barbara County APCD, or its air basin with district board approval under Health & Safety Code §40709.6. District office: (805) 979-8050.
