- Water Capacity Fee (JEA)$1,170.00JEA (Jacksonville Electric Authority)CONFIRMED 7/11/2026. JEA water plant capacity base fee, ¾in residential meter = $1,170 (250 gpd min, no separate irrigation meter); or $4.68/gal of average daily use, whichever is greater. Base fee table still shows "As of April 1, 2023" on the live JEA Capacity Fee Calculator page. RESOLVED: the Oct 1 2025 JEA rate adjustment (and the Oct 1 2026 adjustment approved by the JEA Board 6/30/2026, ~8% for water/sewer) are MONTHLY USAGE rate changes — they did NOT revise the one-time capacity fee table. JEA's 2026 capacity-fee discussion concerns 'behind the meter' additional charges for existing customers expanding usage; no new residential capacity-fee schedule adopted.
- Sewer Capacity Fee (JEA)$5,114.00JEA (Jacksonville Electric Authority)CONFIRMED 7/11/2026. JEA sewer plant capacity base fee, ¾in residential meter = $5,114 (200 gpd min); or $25.57/gal of estimated average daily sewer capacity, whichever is greater. Base fee table still shows "As of April 1, 2023" on the live JEA Capacity Fee Calculator page. RESOLVED: the Oct 1 2025 and Oct 1 2026 JEA rate adjustments are MONTHLY USAGE rate changes, not capacity-fee changes; no new residential capacity-fee schedule adopted.

- Water Plant Capacity Fee (JEA) — 1" meter$1,404.00 one-timeJEA (Jacksonville Electric Authority)CONFIRMED 7/12/2026. JEA publishes ONE shared base-fee table explicitly titled 'Water & Sewer Capacity Base Fees for Residential & Commercial Customers' — meter-size based, no customer-class split, so the nonres fee equals the residential fee at the same meter size (shared-table precedent, cf. Alachua GRU / Macclenny; NOT residential-rate contamination). Canonical 1" meter, water without separate irrigation meter = $1,404 (min ADF 300 gpd). Table effective 'As of April 1, 2023' and still current on the live page. IMPORTANT for nonres: the fee actually charged is the GREATER of this base fee or $4.68 per gallon of average daily water use as estimated/approved by JEA — for most commercial, office and industrial projects the ADF calculation will EXCEED the base fee, so the base fee is a floor, not the expected charge. Meters 2" and greater have NO base fee at all — 'Calculated' from ADF only. ADF per FAC 62-6.008 or an engineer's estimate. Fees summarized from the JEA Water and Sewer Rate Document (jea.com/tariff). Oct 2025 and Oct 2026 JEA rate adjustments are MONTHLY USAGE changes and did not revise the capacity fee table. Separate Meter Set Fee, Standard Tap Fee and line-extension Growth Capacity Charges apply on top. JEA serves Jacksonville + the consolidated county; the 4 independent municipalities run their own utilities.

From JEA's shared 'Water & Sewer Capacity Base Fees for Residential & Commercial Customers' table — meter-size based, no customer-class split, so nonres = residential at the same meter size (shared-table precedent, not contamination). Canonical 1" meter sewer base fee = $6,392.50 (min ADF 250 gpd). IMPORTANT for nonres: the fee charged is the GREATER of this base fee or $25.57 per gallon of estimated average daily sewer capacity — for most commercial/office/industrial projects the ADF calculation will EXCEED the base fee, so treat the base fee as a floor. Meters 2" and greater: no base fee, 'Calculated' from ADF only. Table effective 'As of April 1, 2023', still current on the live page; summarized from the JEA Water and Sewer Rate Document (jea.com/tariff). Oct 2025/Oct 2026 JEA adjustments were monthly usage rates, not capacity fees.
- City Mobility Fee (City of Jacksonville, Commercial)Requires confirmationCity of Jacksonville (COJ) — Concurrency & Mobility Management System OfficeUNCONFIRMED — no published nonres rate schedule. COJ Mobility Fee, Ordinance Code Ch. 655 Part 5, §655.503(e) (Ord. 2011-536-E), read in full on Municode 7/12/2026: the fee is formula-based — Fee = A (Cost per VMT) x B (Average VMT per Development Area) x (C Development Daily Vehicle Trips − Trip Reduction Adjustments − Existing Use Trips). C comes from ITE Trip Generation (so a commercial/retail rate exists in principle), but A and B are set outside the code and are NOT published in the code or on the city site. The only source of a dollar figure is the interactive Mobility Fee Calculator (jaxmobilityfee.coj.net); project policy excludes calculators. CMMSO FAQ page re-read 7/12/2026: confirms the calculator is informal/non-binding and a formal application ($500, or $100 expedited) is required for a certified amount. 10 mobility zones x 5 development areas, so no single citywide rate. No other COJ nonres impact fee (fire/parks/police/school) exists. Mobility fee is due before approval of final construction/engineering plans. ⚠️ Contact CMMSO (904) 255-8330 / CMMSO@coj.net for the current commercial rate by mobility zone.
- County Overlay Fees — None applying (Duval County / Jacksonville, Commercial)$0.00Duval County (consolidated with City of Jacksonville)CONFIRMED $0 — no county overlay impact fee exists anywhere in Duval County. Duval County and the City of Jacksonville have been a CONSOLIDATED city-county government since 1968; there is no separate Duval County commission levying county impact fees, and the county's official website is jacksonville.gov ('Official City of Jacksonville and Duval County Government Website', re-checked 7/12/2026).

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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the total impact fees for a single-family home in Jacksonville, Florida?
A new single-family home in Jacksonville pays at least $6,284.00 per unit in combined impact fees (rates sourced July 12, 2026). One additional fee has no published standard amount and is not included, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.
How much are commercial impact fees in Jacksonville?
Commercial development in Jacksonville pays no per-square-foot impact fees, but owes $7,796.50 in one-time water and sewer connection fees. One additional fee has no published standard amount and is not included, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.
Does Jacksonville charge its own impact fees?
Yes. Jacksonville levies its own municipal impact or utility fees. Duval County does not currently add county-level impact fees inside Jacksonville. The schedule on this page shows every fee that applies to development in Jacksonville.
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.
