  • Water Connection Fee (MF - Marion County Utilities)
    Marion County Utilities
    Marion County Utilities Water Capital Charge = $1,659 ($702 transmission + $957 treatment). FLAGGED UNCONFIRMED 7/13/2026: the MCU published rate schedule states a SINGLE water capital charge with no meter-size or ERU breakdown and no stated multifamily/per-dwelling-unit basis. The $1,659 here is therefore the SFR figure carried across, which may overstate the true per-unit MF charge if MCU assesses it per ERU (an apartment unit is typically <1.0 ERU). Confirm the MF basis with Marion County Utilities Customer Service, (352) 307-6000, before relying on this figure.

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.
