  • Wastewater Capital Charge (City of Palm Bay) — 1 ERC (210 GPD) × $3,300/ERC
    City of Palm Bay
    City of Palm Bay is the wastewater provider for the Town of Malabar (Palm Bay's tariff carries an explicit Malabar wastewater rate class). Palm Bay Ordinance 2025-34, adopted 9-24-2025, effective 10-1-2025, Code Title X, Ch. 106, § 106.40: WASTEWATER CAPITAL CHARGE = $3,300.00 per ERC. NOT METER-SIZE BASED — it is FLOW-based. Per Palm Bay Code § 200.02, one wastewater ERC = 210 GPD average daily flow: nonresidential charge = (average daily flow ÷ 210 GPD) × $3,300. The $3,300 stored here is the 1-ERC (210 GPD) figure — higher-demand projects pay proportionally more. An Equivalent Bulk Connection basis also exists for bulk/wholesale (275 GPD wastewater). Applies to all nonresidential categories — entered once under Commercial as the carrier category. Separate: utility plan review & inspection base $855.91 + $79.89 per sewer ERC + $2,398.81 per lift station. Fla. Stat. § 180.191 outside-city surcharges (25% wastewater) apply to rates — confirm with Palm Bay whether they are applied to capital charges.

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.
