- Water Improvement Charge (City of Temple Terrace, SFR)$2,750.00Requires confirmationCity of Temple TerraceCITY-QUOTED SF FIGURE, RESOLUTION UNPUBLISHED (8/4/2026; Temple Terrace family). $2,750 matches the city's own FAQ quote for a 'typical single-family new residential connection' water improvement charge — the SFR figure is corroborated, but the enabling resolution and schedule are unpublished (uncodified, set under Sec. 22-48). Engineering (813) 506-6570.
- Sewer Improvement Charge (City of Temple Terrace, SFR)$2,569.00Requires confirmationCity of Temple TerraceCITY-QUOTED SF FIGURE, RESOLUTION UNPUBLISHED (8/4/2026; Temple Terrace family). $2,569 matches the city FAQ's typical single-family sewer improvement figure; resolution/schedule unpublished. Engineering (813) 506-6570.
- City Mobility Fee (Temple Terrace Multimodal Transportation District, SFR)$0.00City of Temple TerraceTemple Terrace's entire city area is a state-designated Multimodal Transportation District. Land Development Code secs. 12-1148 through 12-1155 create the mobility fee program but set no amounts; the amounts live in the city's adopted Traffic Circulation and MTD Concurrency Policy and Procedures Manual (updated 09-2018, documentcenter/view/814). Manual sec. 4.5.4(a) computes the fee project-by-project as [Total Development Trips / Total TTMTD Trips] x Cost of the multimodal improvement program - there is no per-dwelling-unit fee schedule. Decisive for this row: manual sec. 1.3.11 states that 'an impact of a single family home on an existing lot will constitute a de minimis impact on all roadways regardless of the level of the deficiency of the roadway,' and the city's published Transportation Review Process flowchart (documentcenter/view/256) confirms 'Formal review not required, i.e. a single family lot ... Issue Certificate of Completion.' A de minimis finding satisfies concurrency with no mitigation, so no mobility fee is assessed on a single-family house on an existing lot. For context only, the manual's Appendix illustrates a 100-unit new single-family subdivision at $1,381 per unit (100% of full cost, derived from a multimodal cost of about $132 per daily trip); that figure is labelled a sample calculation, not an adopted per-unit rate. SB 180 check: Hillsborough County is in the Debby/Helene/Milton federal disaster declarations, so the city is a covered jurisdiction, but the mobility fee program was adopted in 2009-2013 and last updated in 2018 - no adoption or increase after 8/1/2024 was found, so SB 180 does not affect it. 8/5/2026

- Water Improvement Charge (City of Temple Terrace, MF)$2,750.00Requires confirmationCity of Temple Terrace⚠️ SFR FIGURE, MF RATE EXISTS BUT UNPUBLISHED (re-checked 8/3/2026). $2,750 matches the city-quoted TYPICAL SINGLE-FAMILY water improvement figure; Code Sec. 22-48(a)(1) provides a DISTINCT per-unit multifamily rate set by uncodified resolution — not published anywhere online (no fee schedule or enabling resolution posted). City directs impact-fee questions to Engineering: (813) 506-6570.
- Sewer Improvement Charge (City of Temple Terrace, MF)$2,569.00Requires confirmationCity of Temple TerraceCity owns sewer collection; treated at the City of Tampa regional plant. Code Sec. 22-48 imposes an improvement charge on all new connections, amount set by city resolution (not codified, not currently published). Sec. 22-48(a)(1) provides a separate per-unit multifamily rate; Sec. 22-48(a)(3) counts each apartment as a unit even under a master connection; Sec. 22-48(e) makes charges for all units due before service to any unit. MF rate distinct from SFR (figure pending a posted resolution).
- City Mobility Fee (Temple Terrace Multimodal Transportation District, MF)Requires confirmationCity of Temple TerraceTemple Terrace's mobility fee affirmatively exists for multifamily development - there is no de minimis exemption comparable to the single-family-home-on-an-existing-lot rule in sec. 1.3.11 of the adopted Concurrency Manual - but the city publishes no per-unit fee schedule. Land Development Code secs. 12-1148 to 12-1155 create the program and defer method and amounts to the manual; manual sec. 4.5.4(a) computes the fee as [Total Development Trips / Total TTMTD Trips] x Cost of the multimodal improvement program, i.e. project by project. The manual's Appendix contains a worked illustration for 300 apartments (ITE 220) yielding $964 per unit at 100% of full cost, derived from a multimodal cost of about $132 per daily person trip ($29,693,556 program cost / 225,208 trips), but it is expressly headed 'Sample Temple Terrace Mobility Fees' and rests on a 2018 CIP with a 2025 horizon, so it is not an adopted current per-unit rate. Searched the city's site for any adopted mobility fee schedule or newer concurrency manual (only the 09-2018 version exists) and the building permit fee page (no mobility fee line). This is the codified-but-deferred pattern: the fee exists, the per-unit number does not. SB 180 check: Hillsborough County is covered, but no adoption or increase of this fee after 8/1/2024 was found, so SB 180 does not appear to bear on it. 8/5/2026

- Water Improvement Charge (City of Temple Terrace)$2,750.00 one-timeRequires confirmationCity of Temple Terrace⚠️ UNCONFIRMED AMOUNT. Code §22-48 imposes a water 'improvement charge' (= impact fee) on every new connection and §22-48(a)(1)+(b) make the COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL charge METER-SIZE based — but the code sets no dollar figures ('improvement charge established by the city') and the city publishes NO meter-size ladder anywhere. The only published figure is the city's own statement that a typical new SFR connection is ~$2,750 water, and that 'for each connection, basic fees for a 5/8-inch meter is the same as residential' — so $2,750 is entered as the 5/8"-meter base, NOT a 1" canonical default.

Sources checked: Municode (no impact-fee chapter), templeterrace.gov MTD page, Utility Rates & Fees page, city FAQ, targeted web search — none publish a $/trip figure or a nonres fee schedule. Fee is real and nonzero for a trip-generating nonres project; $0 is a placeholder. AUDIT RE-CHECK 2026-07-13: re-searched city site + web; still no published cost-per-trip figure or nonres 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.
For a primer on how impact fees work, see our plain-English guide.
