  • Sewer Connection Fee (Brevard County Utilities)
    Brevard County Utility Services
    ⚠️ VERIFY — NOT PUBLISHED. Brevard County Utility Services is the sanitary sewer provider for the unincorporated area. Code Ch. 110 Art. II sets rates 'by resolution' with no schedule in the code; the Utility Development Fees page publishes only plan-review / site-plan / inspection fees; the County Rates page publishes only MONTHLY sewer rates (commercial base $32.79 + $6.93/1,000 gal, no maximum); web search finds no adopted nonres capacity schedule. The one-time nonres sewer connection/capacity charge appears to be set administratively per project. AUDIT 2026-07-14: re-verified again — the Utility Development Fees page still shows ONLY Res. 2024-1158 (adopted 10-22-2024, eff. 1-1-2025) plan-review/inspection/site-plan fees, with no capacity or connection charge of any kind; no successor resolution has been posted.

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.
