    WASD Schedule of Water Fees and Charges, item 9 'Connection Charge Rate', eff. Oct 1, 2025: $1.39 per average daily gallon. WASD is the retail WATER provider in Coral Gables (the city provides sewer; WASD even bills sewer for Coral Gables under an agreement - see the WASD wastewater schedule's 'Billing Service Fee for Processing Sewer Billings for Coral Gables'). NO METER LADDER EXISTS - WASD prices nonres connection charges purely on estimated average daily flow, determined per project from the land-use gallonage basis in County Code Sec. 24-43.1(5) / the Utilities Analysis Evaluation (UAE) form (WASD Table 1 lists the nonres land-use categories; gpd figures are set administratively from Florida DOH estimated-flow standards). The $1.39 IS the published adopted rate; only the per-project gpd multiplier is engineer-determined. Separate cost-recovery charges also apply (service installation, meter installation, construction connection charge per front foot). WASD New Business (305) 665-7477.

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.
