Water$450.00 one-time
- Water Tap-in Fee (City of Moore Haven) — 1" meter$450.00 one-timeCity of Moore HavenCONFIRMED — read directly off the City of Moore Haven Utilities page 7/12/2026. The city operates its own water utility. The posted table is titled 'Residential and Commercial Water Tap-in Fees' — ONE meter-size ladder serving all customer classes, so the nonresidential rate legitimately equals the residential rate at the same meter size (not residential-rate contamination). Full ladder: 3/4" = $300.00; 1" = $450.00; 1.5" = $690.00; 2" = $1,000.00; over 2" = total cost of materials + $1,000.00 (not a fixed amount — no record entered for that tier). Canonical nonres default = 1" meter = $450.00. NO separate water capacity / system-development (impact) charge is published — the tap-in fee is the entire one-time capital connection charge. The $15.00 'initial connect for water' is an account-activation charge, and the commercial water deposits ($50–$245 by meter size) and monthly base rates are refundable/recurring — none are capital fees, so none are entered. Contact City Hall (863) 946-0711. AUDIT 7/12/2026 — full tap-in ladder re-read off moorehaven.org/utilities and confirmed unchanged (3/4" $300 / 1" $450 / 1.5" $690 / 2" $1,000 / over 2" materials + $1,000). Shared residential+commercial ladder re-confirmed — the SFR match is the documented shared-table exception, not contamination. Default correctly sits on the 1" tier.

Water$450.00 one-time
- Water Tap-in Fee (City of Moore Haven) — 1" meter$450.00 one-timeCity of Moore HavenCONFIRMED — read directly off the City of Moore Haven Utilities page 7/12/2026. The city operates its own water utility. The posted table is titled 'Residential and Commercial Water Tap-in Fees' — ONE meter-size ladder serving all customer classes, so the nonresidential rate legitimately equals the residential rate at the same meter size (not residential-rate contamination). Full ladder: 3/4" = $300.00; 1" = $450.00; 1.5" = $690.00; 2" = $1,000.00; over 2" = total cost of materials + $1,000.00 (not a fixed amount — no record entered for that tier). Canonical nonres default = 1" meter = $450.00. NO separate water capacity / system-development (impact) charge is published — the tap-in fee is the entire one-time capital connection charge. The $15.00 'initial connect for water' is an account-activation charge, and the commercial water deposits ($50–$245 by meter size) and monthly base rates are refundable/recurring — none are capital fees, so none are entered. Contact City Hall (863) 946-0711. AUDIT 7/12/2026 — full tap-in ladder re-read off moorehaven.org/utilities and confirmed unchanged (3/4" $300 / 1" $450 / 1.5" $690 / 2" $1,000 / over 2" materials + $1,000). Shared residential+commercial ladder re-confirmed — the SFR match is the documented shared-table exception, not contamination. Default correctly sits on the 1" tier.
Sewer$2,000.00 one-time
- Sewer System Development Charge (Moore Haven CCPWA) — 1 ERU × $2,000/ERU$2,000.00 one-timeMoore Haven City/County Public Works Authority (CCPWA)CONFIRMED 7/12/2026. Sewer is provided by the Moore Haven City/County Public Works Authority (CCPWA), a combined special district of the Glades County BOCC + City of Moore Haven. CCPWA Resolution No. 2025-01, adopted in special session 10/27/2025, effective on adoption, supersedes all prior schedules. Exhibit A Sec. A.4: System Development Charge / Capacity Charge = $2,000.00 per ERU. Sec. A.3: 1 ERU = 150 gallons/day design flow. NO meter-size table is published — nonresidential ERU count is derived from the project's design flow: ERUs = design flow (gpd) ÷ 150 gpd, with a 1.0-ERU minimum. Value stored is the published 1-ERU minimum ($2,000.00); multiply by the project's ERU count for a specific building. Additional one-time charges: project plan review $100.00/ERU (Exhibit A Sec. B.9) and project inspection $25.00 (Sec. B.10) — not capital capacity fees, not entered. Source PDF is image-based (https://moorehaven.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/CCPWA-RESOLUTION-NO.-2025-01-SIGNED.pdf); the city's own commercial sewer deposits and monthly base rates are recurring/refundable, not capital fees.

The Moore Haven Code of Ordinances (Municode; codified through Ord. No. 360, adopted 3/18/2025, Supp. No. 9) contains NO impact-fee chapter — the full Part II chapter list (41 chapters, Ch. 26 through Ch. 125) was enumerated on audit and includes Ch. 34 Building Construction, Ch. 66 Land Development, Ch. 115 Utilities and Ch. 125 Zoning, but no impact/development-fee chapter. Only utility tap-in/connection charges apply (see Water Sewer Fees - Nonresidential table). Glades County Ch. 121 fees apply countywide inside the city — see the County records.

County$0.00
- Park Impact Fee (Glades County, Office)$0.00Glades CountyCONFIRMED $0 — verified 7/12/2026. The Glades County park impact fee schedule (Ch. 121 Art. V §121-140) contains ONLY residential rows (single-family, multifamily, mobile home, recreational vehicle, motel/hotel per room). No nonresidential rows — the park impact fee does not reach office development. Confirmed $0 independent of the county's collection suspension. Public Education schedule (§121-25) likewise reads 'Nonresidential ..... No fee' — not entered per project convention. AUDIT 7/12/2026 — §121-140 schedule re-read off Municode and confirmed residential-only (single-family detached $390.85; multifamily $363.12; mobile home in a mobile home park $414.02; recreational vehicle $248.67; motel/hotel per room $116.00). No nonresidential row exists, so the confirmed $0 stands and the Unconfirmed box correctly stays unchecked. ⚠️ RECHECK EACH CYCLE: the county's Public Notices page shows 'BOCC Notice of Public Hearings to consider the adoption of Parks and Recreation Impact Fees on June 9, 2026, and June 22, 2026' — a new parks study could add nonresidential rows.

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

A new single-family home in Moore Haven pays at least $2,300.00 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 Moore Haven?
Commercial development in Moore Haven pays no per-square-foot impact fees, but owes $2,450.00 in one-time water and sewer connection fees (assuming a 1-inch meter). 2 additional fees have no published standard amounts and are not included, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.
Does Moore Haven charge its own impact fees?
Yes. Moore Haven 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 Moore Haven, 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.
