- Water Capacity Fee (City of Hampton)$1,500.00City of Hampton$1,500.00 per dwelling unit, the City of Hampton water capacity fee under City Code Section 32-132 (Ordinance 2017-1, adopted May 16, 2017). It applies to single-family homes, duplexes and multifamily dwellings alike, at the same amount for each unit, and is charged in addition to the meter connection fee (Section 32-131) and the $25 new-connection charge on the rate schedule. In January 2026 the City Council noted that the 2017 amount barely covers the cost of connecting a new service and said the ordinance needs updating; no amendment has been adopted.
- Water Meter Connection Fee (City of Hampton) — 5/8" meter$635.00City of Hampton$635.00 for a 5/8" meter, the City of Hampton fee for connecting water service between the main and the meter and setting the meter (City Code Section 32-131, Ordinance 2017-1, adopted May 16, 2017). The standard single-family service uses a 5/8 inch meter. Installation includes up to 40 feet of service line; longer runs add $3.00 per foot, a backflow preventer is required and billed at cost, and meters larger than one inch are priced per site. This fee is charged in addition to the water capacity fee (Section 32-132) and the $25 new-connection charge on the rate schedule.
- Water Connection Fee (City of Hampton)$25.00City of Hampton$25.00 per new water connection, effective November 1, 2025 (City Code Section 32-121(b) and the City of Hampton water rate schedule, both under Ordinance 2017-1). This account-opening charge is not the city's only one-time water charge: City Code Chapter 32 (Ordinance 2017-1) also sets a water capacity fee for each dwelling unit (Section 32-132) and a meter connection fee by meter size, which covers the service line from the main to the meter and the meter itself (Section 32-131). Those two charges are separate from this one. The $100 new-account deposit is refundable and is not included here.
- Sewer Connection Fee (City of Hampton)$0.00City of HamptonThe City of Hampton has no municipal sewer utility. The city's public works page and its adopted rate schedule cover water service only, and properties are served by private septic systems, so no city sewer connection charge exists.
- City Impact Fees (City of Hampton)$0.00City of HamptonThe City of Hampton levies no transportation, parks, fire, police or other municipal impact fee: its Code of Ordinances has no impact fee chapter, its emergency services and fire prevention chapters are reserved, and its budget carries no impact fee line. Building permitting and inspections are handled by Bradford County Building and Zoning rather than the city. Hampton's only one-time development charges are its water capacity fee and water connection charges under Code Chapter 32, shown on the water records.
- County Impact Fees (City of Hampton)Requires confirmationBradford County Board of County CommissionersBradford County's fire, law enforcement and emergency medical services impact fees apply inside a municipality only where the County and that city have signed an interlocal agreement (County Code Sec. 43-18). No such agreement has been published for the City of Hampton, so no county impact fee is shown here. Hampton does permit through Bradford County Building & Zoning; if an agreement is in place, the rates would be $498 fire, $304 law enforcement and $258 EMS per dwelling unit, plus an administrative charge of up to 2%.

- Water Capacity Fee (City of Hampton, MF)$1,500.00City of Hampton$1,500.00 per dwelling unit, the City of Hampton water capacity fee under City Code Section 32-132 (Ordinance 2017-1, adopted May 16, 2017). The code names multifamily dwellings expressly and sets the fee per dwelling unit, so an apartment building pays it once for each unit. It is charged in addition to the meter connection fee (Section 32-131) and the $25 new-connection charge on the rate schedule. In January 2026 the City Council noted that the 2017 amount barely covers the cost of connecting a new service and said the ordinance needs updating; no amendment has been adopted.
- Water Meter Connection Fee (City of Hampton, MF) — 5/8" meter$635.00City of Hampton$635.00 for a 5/8" meter, the City of Hampton fee for connecting water service between the main and the meter and setting the meter (City Code Section 32-131, Ordinance 2017-1, adopted May 16, 2017). The fee attaches to each metered connection rather than to each apartment: a master-metered building pays it once, at the size its meter requires, so the 5/8 inch figure is a floor and a building needing a one inch or larger meter pays more (meters above one inch are priced per site). Installation includes up to 40 feet of service line, longer runs add $3.00 per foot, and a backflow preventer is billed at cost. This fee is charged in addition to the per-unit water capacity fee (Section 32-132) and the $25 new-connection charge on the rate schedule.
- Water Connection Fee (City of Hampton, MF)$25.00Requires confirmationCity of HamptonThe City of Hampton charges $25.00 per new water connection, effective November 1, 2025 (City Code Section 32-121(b) and the city water rate schedule, both under Ordinance 2017-1). The schedule is written per connection and does not state whether a master-metered apartment building pays once or per unit, so the per-unit figure shown here is not established. This account-opening charge is not the city's only one-time water charge: City Code Chapter 32 sets a water capacity fee for each dwelling unit, multifamily included (Section 32-132), and a meter connection fee by meter size (Section 32-131). Those two charges are separate from this one. The $100 new-account deposit is refundable.

How Impact Fees Work in Florida
Florida impact fees are one-time charges on new development, governed by Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes (the Florida Impact Fee Act). The statute requires fees to be based on the most recent and localized data, spent on the infrastructure category they were collected for, and adopted by ordinance.
Since a 2021 amendment (Ch. 2021-63, Laws of Florida), the law also limits how fast fees can rise: increases up to 25% phase in over two years, increases of 25–50% phase in over four years, and increases above 50% are allowed only with a demonstrated extraordinary-circumstances study and at least a two-thirds vote of the governing body.
Counties and cities can both levy impact fees. Inside an incorporated city, a project typically pays the county's countywide fees plus any municipal fees the city has adopted, which is why totals differ between a city and the unincorporated county around it.
