Water$291.90
  • Water Connection Charge (Miami-Dade WASD)
    Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Dept (WASD)
    WASD water connection charge = $1.39/avg daily gallon (Sec. 9, eff. Oct 1, 2024). Standard SFR under 3,001 sq ft = 210 gpd → 210 × $1.39 = $291.90. WASD serves Hialeah.
    $291.90
Sewer$1,176.00
  • Sewer Connection Charge (Miami-Dade WASD)
    Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Dept (WASD)
    WASD wastewater connection charge = $5.60/avg daily gallon (Wastewater Sec. 4, eff. Oct 1, 2024). Standard SFR under 3,001 sq ft = 210 gpd → 210 × $5.60 = $1,176.00. CORRECTED: prior value used the water rate ($1.39) in error.

  • Parks & Recreation Impact Fee (City of Hialeah)
    City of Hialeah
    8/4/2026: VERIFIED via Municode (Hialeah Code current through 11/2025 supp), Ch. 98 Art. VIII Div. 2, Sec. 98-2551 (Ord. 2021-059, eff. 2/1/2022): park & recreation impact fee — SFR $2,542/du; MF 2-4 units $2,232/du; MF 5+ units $1,970/du. SFR rate $2,542.
    $2,542.00
  • Police Impact Fee (City of Hialeah)
    City of Hialeah
    CONFIRMED 8/5/2026 (adversarial verification). Hialeah Code sec. 98-2571(c) via Municode API (productId 10914, jobId 474049) and the city's own published Impact Fee Rate Schedule PDF both read 'Residential $268.87 per Dwelling Unit'. The per-1,000-sf basis in the same schedule ($511.16) applies to NON-residential only, which is why the SFR and MF rows legitimately carry the same figure. There is no CPI escalator. CAVEAT: the ordinance provides for a council review every four years and the fee is due for one, so re-check for a rate update.

Water$2,975.00 one-time
  • Water Capital Charge (City of Hialeah Dept. of Water & Sewers) — 1.0 ERC × $2,975/ERC
    City of Hialeah Department of Water & Sewers
    PROVIDER CORRECTION — HIALEAH IS NOT WASD. The city runs its own Department of Water & Sewers and levies its own capital charge under Code Sec. 94-162 (the residential pass had Hialeah down as a WASD retail customer). NO METER LADDER for nonres: Sec. 94-162(d)(2)c prices nonresidential service on flow — Water Capital Charge = (average dependable daily capacity in GPD ÷ 350) × $2,975.00. 1 ERC = 350 GPD. The $2,975/ERC is the sum of two published components: water impact fee—plant $2,726.50/ERC ($7.79/gal of plant capacity) + water impact fee—transmission/distribution $248.50/ERC ($0.71/gal). Per-gallon equivalent: $8.50/gal. Amount entered = the 1.0-ERC minimum. ERCs are computed to the nearest 0.1. The applicant must submit an estimate of average dependable daily capacity for city approval before permit issuance. Sec. 94-162(c)(1): this charge is over and above any service installation fee, lateral charge, inspection fee or utility assessment. Sec. 94-158 adds a surcharge for service outside city limits.

NO METER LADDER for nonres: Sec. 94-162(d)(2)c prices it on flow — Wastewater Capital Charge = (average dependable daily capacity in GPD ÷ 350) × $966.00. 1 ERC = 350 GPD (wastewater).

    City of Hialeah Department of Water & Sewers
    PROVIDER CORRECTION — HIALEAH IS NOT WASD. The city runs its own Department of Water & Sewers and levies its own capital charge under Code Sec. 94-162 (the residential pass had Hialeah down as a WASD retail customer). NO METER LADDER for nonres: Sec. 94-162(d)(2)c prices nonresidential service on flow — Water Capital Charge = (average dependable daily capacity in GPD ÷ 350) × $2,975.00. 1 ERC = 350 GPD. The $2,975/ERC is the sum of two published components: water impact fee—plant $2,726.50/ERC ($7.79/gal of plant capacity) + water impact fee—transmission/distribution $248.50/ERC ($0.71/gal). Per-gallon equivalent: $8.50/gal. Amount entered = the 1.0-ERC minimum. ERCs are computed to the nearest 0.1.

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.
