Commercial (non-SFR) water impact fee by meter size; 2.50 ERC × $1,750/ERC. Applies to all nonresidential categories (Commercial, Office, Industrial) — entered once under Commercial as the carrier category. GOVERNING RULE (Schedule B, verbatim): "Impact fees will be based on either the calculated ERC's per the Utilities Handbook or the base impact fee listed above, whichever is higher" — the meter table is a FLOOR, not a cap. The reclaimed-water discount applies to SFR only; commercial gets no discount. No inside/outside-city differential. Cocoa Utilities is the potable water provider for Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Rockledge, much of unincorporated central Brevard, and wholesale to Titusville.

- Water Impact Fee (Cocoa Utilities) — 1" meter$4,375.00 one-timeCity of Cocoa (Cocoa Utilities)Cocoa Utilities Schedule B — Miscellaneous Rates, Fees & Charges, updated October 2025. Commercial (non-SFR) water impact fee by meter size; 2.50 ERC × $1,750/ERC. Applies to all nonresidential categories (Commercial, Office, Industrial) — entered once under Commercial as the carrier category. GOVERNING RULE (Schedule B, verbatim): "Impact fees will be based on either the calculated ERC's per the Utilities Handbook or the base impact fee listed above, whichever is higher" — the meter table is a FLOOR, not a cap. The reclaimed-water discount applies to SFR only; commercial gets no discount. No inside/outside-city differential. Cocoa Utilities is the potable water provider for Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Rockledge, much of unincorporated central Brevard, and wholesale to Titusville. Separate charges may apply: plan review & construction inspection $750; reclaimed connection charge (5/8-3/4" $301, 1" $425, 1.5" $700, 2" $1,000).

NOT METER-SIZE BASED — the meter/ERU table in Ch. 78 Art. III governs MONTHLY BILLING ONLY. Per the guide's no-meter-table rule, the stored amount is the published 1-ERU FLOOR (the code sets the fee at the greater of 1 ERU or the calculated amount); a project's actual fee scales with its ERU count. Published nonres ERU factors: shopping centers w/o food or laundry 0.0004 ERU/sq ft (schedule prints $0.56/sq ft); office building 0.0625 ERU per worker ($84.30/worker); dentist/doctor office 1.0417 ERU per practitioner ($1,405.00); restaurant 0.1667 ERU/seat ($224.80), 24-hour restaurant 0.2500 ERU/seat ($337.20), bar/cocktail lounge 0.0833 ERU/seat ($112.40). NO industrial or warehouse row is published. For uses not listed, the code directs the GREATER of (a) FIXTURE UNIT basis — total drainage-fixture-unit load factor × 15 = GPD; GPD ÷ 240 = ERUs; ERUs × $1,348.80; or (b) FLOW basis — average daily sewer flow ÷ 240 GPD/ERU, rounded to nearest tenth, × $1,348.80. Applies to all nonresidential categories — one record per provider per jurisdiction (2026-07-11 reconciliation: collapsed three per-category rows that duplicated this single ERU-based fee).

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.
