Water$0.00
- Water Capacity Availability Charge (City of Starke)Requires confirmationCity of StarkeCity of Starke Code Sec. 102-36 imposes a water capacity availability charge per equivalent residential connection (1 ERC = 350 gpd for a single-family residence), with the amount 'as provided by the city commission by resolution.' Sec. 102-34 likewise sets the meter / new-service-connection charge by resolution. Re-checked 2026-07-22: the codified chapter carries no dollar figure; Res. 2025-14 (the only fee schedule the city posts) covers building and zoning fees only; the Utility Services department page posts notification forms, a drinking-water report and a payment portal but no rate sheet. The $15 water charge in the city's Customer Service Guide is an account-setup connection charge (alongside $25 electric and $20 gas, plus a $200 refundable meter deposit), not a capacity fee. The utility rate resolution is not published online.
Sewer$0.00
- Sewer Tap Charge (City of Starke)Requires confirmationCity of Starke Code Sec. 102-35 (sewer tap charge) and Sec. 102-37 (water pollution control charge) both set their amounts by city commission resolution.

Separately, Sec. 43-31(b) expressly excepts the City of Starke from the FIRE fee because Starke provides its own fire facilities; the law enforcement (Sec. 43-41) and EMS (Sec. 43-51) articles carry no Starke exception, so those two could reach Starke under a Sec. 43-18 interlocal. No such interlocal is published by either government, and Starke issues its own building permits. Entered $0 until an interlocal is located. Codifier re-read 2026-07-22.

Ord. No. 2015-0721 (adopted 3-3-2015), Exhibit A, p.2, 'Water main tapping': 5/8"x3/4" $350.00 · 3/4" $350.00 · 1" $500.00 · 1.5" $550.00 · 2" $600.00 · 'Fees for taps larger than 2" shall be determined by the actual cost x 200%.' Code Sec. 102-34: meter charge schedule set by resolution; new service connections larger than 2 inches charged at 200% of material cost. Canonical nonres default = 1" meter. Meter-size + capacity-charge stacking follows the Charlotte County precedent in the Process Guide. ⚠️ LIKELY SUPERSEDED: Res.

No. 2015-0721 (adopted 3-3-2015), Exhibit A utility fee schedule, p.2: water 'Capacity charge' 5/8"x3/4" = $350.00; all larger meters (3/4", 1", 1.5", 2", 4", 6", 8", 12") = 'Calculation based on E.R.U. X $350.00.' So the charge is ERC/ERU-BASED, NOT a meter ladder: $350.00 per ERC. Code Sec. 102-36 imposes the water capacity availability charge on the number of ERCs; Sec. 102-36(b): 1 ERC = a single-family household using 350 gpd. Sec. 102-33(l): nonresidential ERC count = estimated commercial/industrial daily flow / 350 gpd (city engineers estimate for business/industrial/institutional uses). Entered here as the published 1-ERC MINIMUM ($350.00), Subtype blank, Is Default true — a nonres project multiplies by its engineered ERC count. Separate WATER MAIN TAPPING charges also apply by meter size (see the Water Main Tap Charge records for this jurisdiction). ⚠️ LIKELY SUPERSEDED: Starke Res.

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 2021, 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.
