Water$1,750.00
  • Water Impact Fee (Cocoa Utilities, MF) — 2+ bath, 1.00 ERC
    City of Cocoa (Cocoa Utilities)
    CONFIRMED 2026-07-14. Cocoa Schedule B — Utility Impact & Connection Fees (updated October 2025), unit-description table: 'Apartment or Condo: 2 or more bath' = 1.00 ERC = $1,750. The canonical MF unit (2BR/2BA) falls in this tier, so MF = SFR here BY DESIGN (both 1.00 ERC) — this is not a copied SFR figure. The 'Apartment or condo: 1 bath' tier is 0.80 ERC = $1,400 (separate non-default record).
    $1,750.00
Sewer$1,875.00
  • Sewer Impact Fee (Cocoa Utilities, MF) — 1.00 ERC
    City of Cocoa (Cocoa Utilities)
    CONFIRMED 2026-07-14. Cocoa Schedule B — Utility Impact & Connection Fees (updated October 2025): Sewer Service Impact Fee = $1,875 per ERC. A 2+ bath apartment/condo unit is 1.00 ERC under the same Schedule B unit-description table, so the MF per-unit sewer fee equals the SFR fee by design. A separate Sewer Force Main Fee of $1,450 per ERC applies where a force-main connection is required — not included here.

    ⚠️ VERIFY — DERIVED METER LADDER. Applies to all nonresidential categories — entered once under Commercial as the carrier category. Cocoa Utilities Schedule B (updated October 2025) publishes the sewer impact fee as $1,875 PER ERC but publishes NO sewer meter-size table. The amounts here apply Cocoa's own published WATER ERC factors (2.50 ERC for this meter) to the $1,875/ERC sewer rate — this is our derivation, not a published Cocoa table. Per Schedule B, the actual fee is the HIGHER of the calculated ERCs per the Utilities Handbook or the base fee. Also applicable where required: Sewer Force Main Fee $1,450/ERC (additional). CONFIRM the ERC determination and whether a published commercial sewer meter table exists: Cocoa Utilities Engineering, (321) 433-8700.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the total impact fees for a single-family home in Cocoa, Florida?

A new single-family home in Cocoa pays at least $13,408.98 per unit in combined impact fees (rates sourced July 14, 2026). One additional fee has no published standard amount and is not included, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.

How much are commercial impact fees in Cocoa?

Commercial development in Cocoa pays $6.64 per square foot in impact fees, plus $9,062.50 in one-time water and sewer connection fees (assuming a 1-inch meter), at least $341,191.00 for a 50,000 sq ft building. This figure includes amounts that have not been confirmed and excludes fees with no published standard amount, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.

Does Cocoa charge its own impact fees?

Yes. Cocoa levies its own municipal impact or utility fees, and county-levied fees also apply inside city limits. The schedule on this page shows every fee that applies to development in Cocoa, with the combined total.

Can Florida impact fees increase at any time?

No. Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes limits increases to 50% at most, phased in over two to four years, unless the local government makes extraordinary-circumstances findings and approves the increase by at least a two-thirds vote.
