  • Water Impact Fee (Town of Montverde, SFR)
    Town of Montverde
    CREATED 8/5/2026 (adversarial verification, owner-approved gap-fill). Montverde Code Ch. 16, Art. III, Div. 6, Sec. 16-59.18(c) (Ord. 2017-044, as amended by Ord. 2025-50 adopted 7-8-2025 adopting the Willdan April 2025 water impact fee study): 'One equivalent residential unit (ERU) based on 450 gallons of capacity per day for a single-family dwelling unit with a standard 3/4 inch or 1-inch water meter equates to a water impact fee of $6,150.00.' Subsection (b) makes it expressly cumulative - payable 'in addition to all other fees, charges and assessments due for the connection.' This charge had NO row in the base, and the companion water connection row carried only the $2,100 meter installation fee from Code Sec. 26-150 while its public note wrongly stated 'The town does not charge a separate water capacity or impact fee.' Created as its own row per the owner ruling on separately adopted different fees. SIBLING-ROW CHECK: Montverde's other rows are Sewer Connection Fee ($850) and Municipal Impact Fees ($0, general-government fees, not utility), so no double count.
    $6,150.00
  • Water Connection/Meter Installation Fee (Town of Montverde, SFR)
    Town of Montverde
    RESTORED AND SCOPED 8/5/2026 (adversarial verification, owner-approved). The $2,100 is correct for this row: Montverde Code Sec. 26-150 sets the potable water meter installation fee at $2,100. The row was previously named 'Water Connection/Capacity Fee' and its public note wrongly stated 'The town does not charge a separate water capacity or impact fee' - the town does, and that false statement has been removed. The $6,150 per-ERU water impact fee (Code Sec. 16-59.18(c), Ord. 2017-044 as amended by Ord. 2025-50 of 7-8-2025) now has its OWN row, 'Water Impact Fee (Town of Montverde, SFR)', per the owner ruling on separately adopted different fees. Name narrowed to Connection/Meter Installation so it no longer implies it covers capacity. The real combined cost is disclosed in the public note.

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.
