Water$1,525.00
- Water System Impact Fee (City of Bonifay)$1,125.00City of BonifayCONFIRMED 7/12/2026 — Ord. 350 (adopted 11/13/2006), Sec. 3.01.A: Water System Impact Fee $1,125.00 per ERC; 5/8"x3/4" positive-displacement meter = 1 ERC (SFR). Ord. 399, the proposed rate update, still shows status 'Awaiting Decision' on the City's own ordinance page as of 7/12/2026 — Ord. 350 remains the operative adopted schedule. Per Sec. 1.03.M this impact fee is SEPARATE from the physical tap-in fee (Ord. 338). Sec. 4.07 requires a 5-yr rate-study review — none adopted.
- Water Tap Fee (City of Bonifay)$400.00Requires confirmationCity of BonifayOrd. 338 (adopted 7/25/2005): water tap-in fee $400 within city limits ($800 outside city limits). Separate from the Ord. 350 water system impact fee (Ord. 350 Sec. 1.03.M expressly excludes physical connection/tap-in costs). UNCONFIRMED: Ord. 400 'Water & Sewer Rates 10-01-17' is a scanned/image PDF with no text layer and could not be read — it may have superseded these 2005 tap fees (Ord. 338 itself was a combined rates-and-tap-fee ordinance, so a later rates ordinance can carry tap fees).

Water$1,525.00
- Water System Impact Fee (City of Bonifay, MF)$1,125.00Requires confirmationCity of BonifayRate SOURCE confirmed 7/12/2026: Ord. 350 (adopted 11/13/2006) Sec. 3.01.A — $1,125.00 per ERC. Ord. 399 (proposed update) still 'Awaiting Decision' as of 7/12/2026, so Ord. 350 governs. UNCONFIRMED for MF: Ord. 350 tiers the fee by METER SIZE, not per dwelling unit — a master-metered apartment building pays by meter size (1" = $1,688, 2" = $3,375, etc.), and Sec. 2.01.C/3.01 provide no per-unit MF rate. The $1,125 shown is the 1-ERC (5/8"x3/4") figure and is a floor, not a per-unit MF rate. Confirm MF sizing basis with Bonifay Utilities (850) 547-4238.
- Water Tap Fee (City of Bonifay, MF)$400.00Requires confirmationCity of BonifayOrd. 338 (adopted 7/25/2005): water tap-in fee $400 within city limits ($800 outside). Separate from the Ord. 350 impact fee. UNCONFIRMED for MF: the tap fee is per TAP, not per dwelling unit — no per-unit MF basis published. Ord. 338 also reserves commercial tap-ins to case-by-case City Council determination by type/size/impact, which is likely how an apartment project would be handled. Additionally, Ord. 400 'Water & Sewer Rates 10-01-17' is a scanned/image PDF that could not be read and may have superseded the 2005 tap fees. Confirm with Bonifay Utilities (850) 547-4238.

Ord. 399 (proposed update) still 'Awaiting Decision' as of 7/12/2026, so Ord. 350 governs. UNCONFIRMED for MF: Ord. 350 tiers the fee by METER SIZE, not per dwelling unit (1" = $5,400, 2" = $10,800, etc.). Sec. 2.01.C: where no meter size fits, the City sets the fee from the per-ERC price and the FL DOH estimated wastewater gpd for the use type — so MF is a DOH-gpd determination, not 1.0 ERC/unit. The $3,600 shown is the 1-ERC figure, not a confirmed per-unit MF rate. Confirm with Bonifay Utilities (850) 547-4238.

Base rate $1,125.00 per ERC; 5/8"x3/4" positive-displacement meter = 1 ERC. Nonres fee is set by METER SIZE off the same published ladder (no separate nonres table; one ladder for all customer classes). Canonical nonres default = 1" positive-displacement meter = $1,688.00 (1.5 ERC, rounded up in the ordinance from $1,687.50). Sec. 1.03.M: this impact fee EXCLUDES the physical connection/tap-in cost, charged separately under Ord. 338. AUDIT 2026-07-13: full Ord. 350 text retrieved and every meter-tier amount in this table verified VERBATIM against Sec. 2.01.A / 3.01.A. ⚠️ CURRENCY UNCONFIRMED (audit 2026-07-13): Ord. 399, ALSO titled 'Water & Sewer Impact Fees,' appears TWICE in the City's ordinance library (/ordinance/water-sewer-impact-fees and /ordinance/water-sewer-impact-fees-2) with NO document attached, and may have superseded this 2006 schedule. The library's 'Awaiting Decision' status is a SITE-WIDE DEFAULT — adopted Ord. 350 itself displays it, and every ordinance shows a blank adopted date — so it does NOT prove Ord. 399 is unadopted (the prior research note's reasoning to that effect was unsound). Ord. 399 is numbered immediately before Ord. 400 'Water & Sewer Rates 10-01-17,' so it likely dates to 2017; if adopted, these rates are ~9 years stale. Ord. 350 remains the only W/S impact fee ordinance with a published adopted text, so its rates are entered as published. TO RESOLVE: request the text and adoption status of Ord. 399 from Bonifay City Hall, 301 J Harvey Etheridge St, (850) 547-4238.

City$0.00
- City Impact Fee (City of Bonifay, Commercial) — none levied$0.00City of BonifayCONFIRMED $0 — the City of Bonifay levies NO municipal development impact fee on nonresidential construction. Proved against the City's COMPLETE published ordinance library (all 606 ordinances, cityofbonifay.com/ordinances), re-verified on audit 2026-07-13: the ONLY impact-fee ordinances Bonifay has ever adopted are Ord. 350 'Water & Sewer Impact Fees' (a utility connection/capacity fee, recorded in the Water Sewer Fees - Nonresidential table — NOT a City-type impact fee) and Ord. 399, same title. There is no transportation/mobility, parks, police, fire, or library impact-fee ordinance. Bonifay charges building permit fees only. NOTE (audit correction 2026-07-13): a prior note described Ord. 399 as 'still unadopted' based on its 'Awaiting Decision' status; that status is a SITE-WIDE DEFAULT displayed on every ordinance in the library, including adopted Ord. 350, and proves nothing. Ord. 399's adoption status is genuinely unknown — but it is a WATER/SEWER impact fee ordinance either way, so it does not disturb this confirmed $0 City finding. Its effect on the W/S rates is tracked on the Bonifay records in the W/S table.
County$0.00
- County Impact Fee (Holmes County, Commercial) — none levied$0.00Holmes CountyCONFIRMED $0 — Holmes County levies NO impact fee of any kind, on nonresidential or residential development, anywhere in the county (incorporated or unincorporated). Proved 2026-07-13 two ways: (1) the Clerk of Court's COMPLETE county ordinance index (every ordinance 1972–2026) contains no impact-fee ordinance — the only development-related money ordinances are cost-recovery building/permit fee ordinances (Ord. 80-03, 06-03, 11-02) and the current Building Department Construction Permit Fee schedule (eff. 02/08/2021); (2) the County's Land Development Regulations (updated 2009) contain no impact-fee article. Ord. 06-07 'Proportionate Fair Share' (7/11/2006) is a transportation-concurrency mitigation mechanism with NO published rate — not an impact fee, not entered. WATCH: Ord. 26-03 (adopted 6/16/2026) imposes a moratorium on large-load customer facilities and data centers — no fee attached, but an infrastructure fee study could follow; recheck each cycle.

City$0.00
- City Impact Fee (City of Bonifay, Industrial) — none levied$0.00City of BonifayCONFIRMED $0 — the City of Bonifay levies NO municipal development impact fee on nonresidential construction. Proved against the City's COMPLETE published ordinance library (all 606 ordinances), re-verified on audit 2026-07-13: the only impact-fee ordinances are Ord. 350 and Ord. 399, both titled 'Water & Sewer Impact Fees' — utility fees, tracked in the W/S table, not City-type impact fees. No transportation/mobility, parks, police, fire, or library impact fee exists. Building permit fees only. AUDIT CORRECTION 2026-07-13: a prior note called Ord. 399 'still unadopted' based on its 'Awaiting Decision' status — that status is a site-wide default shown on every ordinance including adopted Ord. 350, so it proves nothing. Ord. 399 is a W/S ordinance either way and does not affect this $0 City finding.
County$0.00
- County Impact Fee (Holmes County, Industrial) — none levied$0.00Holmes CountyCONFIRMED $0 — Holmes County levies NO impact fee of any kind. Proved 2026-07-13 against the Clerk of Court's COMPLETE county ordinance index (1972–2026, no impact-fee ordinance) and the County LDRs (updated 2009, no impact-fee article). Only county development charges are cost-recovery building permit/inspection fees (schedule eff. 02/08/2021). Ord. 06-07 'Proportionate Fair Share' is concurrency mitigation with no published rate — not an impact fee. WATCH: Ord. 26-03 (6/16/2026) moratorium on large-load customer facilities and data centers is the county's first move to manage heavy industrial load — an impact/infrastructure fee could follow; recheck each cycle.

Water$2,088.00 one-time
- Water System Impact Fee (City of Bonifay) — 1" meter$1,688.00 one-timeRequires confirmationCity of BonifayOrd. 2006-350 (adopted 11/13/2006), Sec. 3.01.A — Regional Water and Sewer System Impact Fee Ordinance. Base rate $1,125.00 per ERC; 5/8"x3/4" positive-displacement meter = 1 ERC. Nonres fee is set by METER SIZE off the same published ladder (no separate nonres table; one ladder for all customer classes). Canonical nonres default = 1" positive-displacement meter = $1,688.00 (1.5 ERC, rounded up in the ordinance from $1,687.50). Sec. 1.03.M: this impact fee EXCLUDES the physical connection/tap-in cost, charged separately under Ord. 338. AUDIT 2026-07-13: full Ord. 350 text retrieved and every meter-tier amount in this table verified VERBATIM against Sec. 2.01.A / 3.01.A. ⚠️ CURRENCY UNCONFIRMED (audit 2026-07-13): Ord. 399, ALSO titled 'Water & Sewer Impact Fees,' appears TWICE in the City's ordinance library (/ordinance/water-sewer-impact-fees and /ordinance/water-sewer-impact-fees-2) with NO document attached, and may have superseded this 2006 schedule. The library's 'Awaiting Decision' status is a SITE-WIDE DEFAULT — adopted Ord. 350 itself displays it, and every ordinance shows a blank adopted date — so it does NOT prove Ord. 399 is unadopted (the prior research note's reasoning to that effect was unsound). Ord. 399 is numbered immediately before Ord. 400 'Water & Sewer Rates 10-01-17,' so it likely dates to 2017; if adopted, these rates are ~9 years stale. Ord. 350 remains the only W/S impact fee ordinance with a published adopted text, so its rates are entered as published. TO RESOLVE: request the text and adoption status of Ord. 399 from Bonifay City Hall, 301 J Harvey Etheridge St, (850) 547-4238.
- Water Tap-In Fee (City of Bonifay)$400.00 one-timeRequires confirmationCity of BonifayOrd. 338 (adopted 7/25/2005): water tap-in fee $400 inside city limits ($800 outside). This is the physical-connection cost, charged SEPARATELY from and IN ADDITION TO the Ord. 350 Water System Impact Fee (Ord. 350 Sec. 1.03.M expressly excludes tap-in costs). No meter-size differentiation is published for the tap-in fee. UNCONFIRMED — re-attempted on audit 2026-07-13 and still unresolved: Ord. 400 'Water & Sewer Rates 10-01-17' (cityofbonifay.com/media/4826) is a scanned image PDF with NO text layer (re-fetched, returns no machine-readable text), and because Ord. 338 was itself a combined rates-and-tap-fee ordinance, the 2017 rates ordinance may have superseded these 2005 tap fees. Confirm the current nonres tap-in fee with Bonifay Utilities (850) 547-4238.
Sewer$5,800.00 one-time
- Sewer System Impact Fee (City of Bonifay) — 1" meter$5,400.00 one-timeRequires confirmationCity of BonifayOrd. 2006-350 (adopted 11/13/2006), Sec. 2.01.A. Base rate $3,600.00 per ERC; 5/8"x3/4" positive-displacement meter = 1 ERC. Nonres fee set by METER SIZE off the same published ladder (one ladder for all customer classes). Canonical nonres default = 1" positive-displacement meter = $5,400.00 (1.5 ERC). Sec. 2.01.C: where NO meter size applies, the City sets the fee from the per-ERC price and the FL Department of Health estimated wastewater production (gpd) for the property use type — the fallback basis for unusual nonres uses. Sec. 1.03.M: excludes physical tap-in cost (Ord. 338). AUDIT 2026-07-13: full Ord. 350 text retrieved; every meter-tier amount verified VERBATIM. ⚠️ CURRENCY UNCONFIRMED (audit 2026-07-13): Ord. 399, ALSO titled 'Water & Sewer Impact Fees,' appears TWICE in the City's ordinance library with NO document attached and may have superseded this 2006 schedule.

City$0.00
- City Impact Fee (City of Bonifay, Office) — none levied$0.00City of BonifayCONFIRMED $0 — the City of Bonifay levies NO municipal development impact fee on nonresidential construction. Proved against the City's COMPLETE published ordinance library (all 606 ordinances), re-verified on audit 2026-07-13: the only impact-fee ordinances are Ord. 350 and Ord. 399, both titled 'Water & Sewer Impact Fees' — utility fees, tracked in the W/S table, not City-type impact fees. No transportation/mobility, parks, police, fire, or library impact fee exists. Building permit fees only. AUDIT CORRECTION 2026-07-13: a prior note called Ord. 399 'still unadopted' based on its 'Awaiting Decision' status — that status is a site-wide default shown on every ordinance including adopted Ord. 350, so it proves nothing. Ord. 399 is a W/S ordinance either way and does not affect this $0 City finding.
County$0.00
- County Impact Fee (Holmes County, Office) — none levied$0.00Holmes CountyCONFIRMED $0 — Holmes County levies NO impact fee of any kind. Proved 2026-07-13 against the Clerk of Court's COMPLETE county ordinance index (1972–2026, no impact-fee ordinance) and the County LDRs (updated 2009, no impact-fee article). Only county development charges are cost-recovery building permit/inspection fees (schedule eff. 02/08/2021). Ord. 06-07 'Proportionate Fair Share' is concurrency mitigation with no published rate — not an impact fee. WATCH: Ord. 26-03 (6/16/2026) data-center moratorium — no fee attached; recheck each cycle.

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.
