  • Water Connection/Impact Fee (Everglades City)
    Everglades City
    Everglades City runs its own water utility (Collier County Water-Sewer District does NOT serve it — the County's commercial schedule expressly excludes County Water and Sewer inside Everglades City). AUDIT 2026-07-12: Ordinance 2024-06, the City's posted water-rate ordinance, was successfully read via the Google-viewer route. It replaces Ord. 2021-06 and amends Ord. 1980-6 §5.A, and it establishes ONLY MONTHLY USER RATES (in-City commercial: $48.70/mo minimum base fee for the first 3,000 gal, +$8.70 per 1,000 gal to 9,999, +$11.41 per 1,000 gal thereafter; Urban Service Area rates higher). It contains NO connection, capacity, tap or impact fee. The City's posted 'Commercial Rates 2024' PDF turns out to be Collier County's own Commercial Impact Fee Schedule, not a City schedule.

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

How much are commercial impact fees in Everglades City?

Commercial development in Everglades City pays $3.64 per square foot in impact fees, at least $182,000.00 for a 50,000 sq ft building. 2 additional fees have no published standard amounts and are not included, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.

Does Everglades City charge its own impact fees?

Yes. Everglades City 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 Everglades City, 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. Rates change, and project specifics (unit size, meter size, location within special districts) can alter what applies.
