    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 (ADF): nonresidential charge = (ADF ÷ 210 GPD) × $3,300. The $3,300 stored here is the 1-ERC (210 GPD) figure — higher-demand projects pay proportionally more (e.g. 1,000 GPD = 4.76 ERC = $15,714; 5,000 GPD = 23.81 ERC = $78,571; 10,000 GPD = 47.62 ERC = $157,143). 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. Palm Bay Utilities also serves the Town of Malabar and parts of Grant-Valkaria. Separate: utility plan review & inspection base $855.91 + $79.89 per sewer ERC + $2,398.81 per lift station. ⚠️ The Fla.

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 Palm Bay, Florida?

A new single-family home in Palm Bay pays $13,363.10 per unit in combined impact fees (rates sourced July 14, 2026).

Does Palm Bay charge its own impact fees?

Yes. Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay, 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.

Fee amounts on this page are compiled from official published schedules and are provided for planning purposes only.
