Water$313.00
  • Water Impact Fee (City of Palmetto)
    City of Palmetto
    CONFIRMED 7/13/2026 from the CODE, not the Rates & Fees page. Code Ch. 29 (Utilities) Art. III — Impact Fees, Sec. 29-82(a): water impact fee $313.00 per family dwelling unit (Ord. 2016-15, 11/7/2016). If the unit exceeds 21 plumbing fixture units, add $14.90 per FU over 21 — a canonical 3BR/2BA SFR (~15 FU) is under the threshold, so $313 flat. Collected before the initial building permit (Sec. 29-84). SEPARATE from the Ch. 29 Art. I Sec. 29-31 water CONNECTION charge (meter-size based, set by the city; not published on the Rates & Fees page — (941) 723-4570), which a developer also pays. Prior $0 placeholder was wrong: the city's Rates & Fees web page shows only monthly rates + the $3,500 fire-sprinkler fee, but the impact fee is codified.

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.
