- Water Connection Fee (Town of Orange Park)$650.00Town of Orange ParkInternal research note: Orange Park Town Code sec. 36-26(f), 'Water meter installation charges,' which the code states 'consist of cost of materials, labor, and the proportionate cost of water plant and distribution system' — i.e., this is the town's water connection charge. Three-fourths-inch service, three-fourths-inch meter = $650.00; 1-inch $1,080; 1.5-inch $1,500; 2-inch $3,000; 3-inch $4,570; 4-inch $7,920; 6-inch $17,600; larger quoted on application. The schedule assumes an existing service stub-out within ten feet of the property line; main or service-line extension is at the applicant's expense. Code current through Ord. No. 16-25 adopted 10/21/2025 (Municode Supp. 11, job 481049). 8/5/2026
- Sewer Connection Fee (Town of Orange Park)$1,325.00Town of Orange ParkInternal research note: Orange Park Town Code sec. 36-26(g)(1): 'Residential. The connection charge shall be two times the amount of the water meter installation charge where there is an existing service stub-out within ten feet or less of the property line, plus $25.00 to cover inspection by the town.' Sec. 36-26(f)(1) sets the three-fourths-inch service / three-fourths-inch meter installation charge at $650.00. 2 x $650 + $25 = $1,325.00 for the smallest residential service. Code is current — Municode job 481049, Supp. 11, codified through Ord. No. 16-25 adopted 10/21/2025. Sec. 36-26(i) additionally imposes a water pollution control charge of $40.00 per fixture unit payable at the same time as connection charges; that is a separately named charge and is disclosed in the public note rather than folded into the amount. Monthly rates on the town's Water & Sewer Rates page were amended by resolution effective 5/1/2026, but the connection charges remain as codified. 8/5/2026

Orange Park: Multifamily Impact Fees
A new multifamily unit in Orange Park pays $5,566.00 per unit in impact fees (rates sourced August 5, 2026). All of it is levied by Clay County.
The largest line items are County Impact Fees (Town of Orange Park, MF) ($5,566.00).
View the full fee schedule
- Water Connection Fee (Town of Orange Park, MF)$0.00Town of Orange ParkInternal research note: Orange Park Town Code sec. 36-26(f) publishes the town's water meter installation (connection) charges strictly by service and meter size — 3/4 inch $650, 1 inch $1,080, 1.5 inch $1,500, 2 inch $3,000, 3 inch $4,570, 4 inch $7,920, 6 inch $17,600, larger quoted on application. There is no per-dwelling-unit or per-ERU multifamily connection rate in the code. The town's rate Schedule 2 does count each apartment unit as a separate 'service' for monthly billing, but that applies to monthly minimum and usage charges only, not to the one-time installation charge. Code current through Ord. No. 16-25 adopted 10/21/2025. Meets the MF meter-size-only rule with the basis affirmatively published. 8/5/2026
- Sewer Connection Fee (Town of Orange Park, MF)$0.00Town of Orange ParkInternal research note: Orange Park Town Code sec. 36-26(g) prices the sewer connection charge as two times the water meter installation charge plus a $25 inspection fee, and sec. 36-26(f) prices meter installation strictly by service and meter size ($650 for 3/4-inch up to $17,600 for 6-inch). The charge therefore scales with meter size, not with the number of dwelling units, and the code publishes no per-unit or per-ERU multifamily connection rate. The only per-unit multifamily figure in the section, $14.00 in sec. 36-26(h)(2), is a building permit application fee for privately built systems where town service is not available, not a connection charge. The town's Water & Sewer Rates page publishes monthly rates only. Meets the MF meter-size-only rule with the basis affirmatively published. 8/5/2026

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.
