Code Sec. 70-132(a): water connection fee of $2,500.00 for EACH UNIT connected to the water system. For nonresidential, a 'unit' is defined by lavatory facilities, not meter size: in office or store buildings with private lavatory facilities, each private lavatory facility = one unit, except where separate men's and women's facilities are provided, each two lavatory facilities = one unit; the same two-for-one rule applies to common/shared tenant lavatories. Amount stored is the published per-unit rate (the 1-unit minimum); a project's total = $2,500 × unit count. Fee is payable when the building permit is obtained. One shared unit-rate table for all customer classes, so the nonres minimum legitimately equals the SFR amount. Contact: City of Deerfield Beach Utilities/Environmental Services, (954) 480-4200.

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.
