- Water Connection Fee (McIntosh)$400.00Town of McIntoshInternal research note: Town of McIntosh Code sec. 34-69 (Connection fees, water service): 'Each applicant for utility service, either residential or commercial accounts, prior to connection of a water meter and water being supplied from the town, shall pay an initial connection fee of $400.00, or other such charge as the town council shall later designate by resolution, prior to the town connecting such service, except that the town shall charge the actual cost of the meter for a water line which exceeds the standard diameter.' (Ord. No. 2013-191, sec. 3, 9-5-2013). Sec. 34-68 provides that water rates including initial connection fees are set by council resolution and kept on file with the clerk, so the codified $400 is the default unless superseded; no superseding resolution is published. Separate utility deposit and turn-on fee are set by resolution (amounts not published). Sec. 34-67 makes connection mandatory where the town water works system is available. EPA SDWIS confirms 'MCINTOSH, TOWN OF' (FL3421379) as an active locally owned community water system, 250 service connections, population 484. 8/5/2026
- Sewer Connection Fee (McIntosh)$0.00Town of McIntoshInternal research note: Town of McIntosh Code of Ordinances ch. 34 (Utilities) contains Article I (in general), Article II (water), Article III (rates) and Article IV (floodplain management). The utility provisions cover the town water works system and garbage collection only - Sec. 34-67 connections with the water works system, Sec. 34-68 water and garbage collection rates, Sec. 34-69 water service connection fee, Sec. 34-76 garbage rates. There is no sanitary sewer article, no wastewater utility, and no sewer connection charge anywhere in the code. The town's Historic Town Land Development Code corroborates: it requires septic tank permits for development, sets septic tank and drain field setbacks, and requires development using septic systems to comply with the Marion County septic tank maintenance program and state health department rules. EPA SDWIS confirms 'MCINTOSH, TOWN OF' (FL3421379) as an active locally owned community WATER system with 250 service connections; no municipal wastewater system exists. 8/5/2026
- City Impact Fees (Town of McIntosh)$0.00Town of McIntoshInternal research note: The Town of McIntosh has adopted no impact fee ordinance. Its complete codified Part II Code of Ordinances (chs. 1-34: general provisions, administration, alcoholic beverages, amusements, animals, buildings, civil rights, elections, environment, fire prevention, offenses, parks, peddlers, secondhand goods, streets, taxation, traffic, utilities) contains no occurrence of 'impact fee' at all. The only reference anywhere in the town's codes is boilerplate in Part III, Historic Town Land Development Code sec. 4.03.07, the state-model proportionate fair-share mitigation article, which speaks conditionally of credits 'to the extent that' mitigation addresses improvements 'contemplated by the town's impact fee regulations' - no such regulations have been enacted, no rate schedule exists, and no imposition section exists. Marion County's countywide educational, fire/EMS and transportation impact fees are separate; per the county's published guidance, collection inside a municipality does not occur until the county and that city have entered an interlocal agreement. 8/5/2026

View the full fee schedule
- Water Connection Fee (MF - McIntosh)$400.00Town of McIntoshInternal research note: Town of McIntosh Code sec. 34-69 sets a flat initial water service connection fee of $400.00 payable by 'Each applicant for utility service, either residential or commercial accounts' before a water meter is connected, with the actual cost of the meter charged instead where the water line exceeds the standard diameter (Ord. No. 2013-191, sec. 3, 9-5-2013). The fee is not differentiated by dwelling type and there is no separate multifamily or per-unit rate published, so an individually metered multifamily unit pays the same $400.00; a master-metered building would pay one $400.00 fee plus actual meter cost for an oversized line. Sec. 34-74 requires separate connections and sec. 34-75 has specific provisions for mobile home parks. Sec. 34-68 allows the council to reset connection fees by resolution; no superseding resolution is published. 8/5/2026

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.
