    Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Department (WASD)
    VERIFIED 8/4/2026 (Miami-Dade WASD family — the 2025-26 Schedule of Fees re-verified today for the MF siblings): water connection charge $291.90 (5/8"-3/4"), current schedule. Connection charges are separate from gallonage-based construction connection charges. WASD (786) 552-8000.

  • Parks & Recreation Impact Fee (City of Miami Gardens) — $2,925 park + 7.5% admin = $3,144.38
    City of Miami Gardens
    GROSSED UP 2026-08-05 to include the 7.5% administrative surcharge, and FLAGGED pending confirmation. The park base $2,925 (Parks-Improvements $1,403 + Parks-Open Space $1,522, single-family detached) was confirmed by a prior second pass. NEW THIS PASS: the city's Building Fee Schedule carries an administrative charge equal to 7.50% of the park impact fee, which was NOT previously captured in any row. The 7.5% rate is exact: the city's own single-family-attached admin figure $185.55 = 7.50% x the SFA park total $2,474 ($1,207 + $1,267). Applied to this row's confirmed detached base: $2,925 x 1.075 = $3,144.38. DUP-GUARD run by jurisdiction field on both tables 2026-08-05: Miami Gardens has NO General Government or Admin row anywhere, so this gross-up does not double-count. WHY FLAGGED - three open items: (1) the city's own documents TRANSPOSE the single-family-detached and single-family-attached figures between versions (FY2011-12 gives Detached $219.80 / Attached $185.55; the 09/11/2024 schedule and FY2024/FY2026 manuals give the reverse), and the Parks-Improvements and Parks-Open Space rows are also swapped between versions - so the exact admin dollar figure carries version risk even though the 7.5% mechanism is solid; (2) the city's stated admin figures ($219.80 detached, $127.78 MF) do not reconcile exactly to 7.5% of our confirmed bases, so this row uses 7.5% of the confirmed base rather than importing a possibly-transposed dollar figure; (3) no resolution adopting the Building Fee Schedule was locatable, though Code Sec. 34-97(c) requires amounts to be set by resolution. Recommend one call to Miami Gardens Building Services to settle what the admin line funds and confirm the current park-component assignment. Booked in city accounts as 'Admin. Impact Fee' / 'Parks - General Administration'. MF counterpart recHGxV4x7ElRYsUU = $1,803.85. Round-3 2026-08-05; docs/verify-r2-P-miamigardens-2ndpass.json.

  • Police Impact Fee (City of Miami Gardens)
    City of Miami Gardens
    CONFIRMED 8/5/2026 (adversarial verification), with a currency caveat. This was the hardest row in the cluster to sustain and it held. $537.27 IS a Miami-Dade-derived figure and does appear on an older county schedule (index 1.287); the CURRENT county schedule effective 12/31/2024-12/30/2027 puts police at $688.42/unit. But Miami-Dade Code sec. 33I-1(b) limits the county police impact fee to the UNINCORPORATED county, and the county collects police fees on behalf of only Palmetto Bay and Miami Lakes. Miami Gardens adopted Ord. 90-31 by reference (LDC sec. 34-97(a)(2)) and collects its own fee at its own published rate of $537.27 (Building Fee Schedule rev. 09/11/2024, p.19 sec. E.4 - the current document linked from the city's Documents & Forms page; no newer revision exists). CAVEAT: that schedule is roughly two years old against a CPI-indexed county model, so re-check for a city update.

    City of Miami Gardens
    GROSSED UP 2026-08-05 to include the 7.5% administrative surcharge, and FLAGGED pending confirmation. See the SFR counterpart rechIXgqI6rEYoc1B for the full record. The park base $1,678/unit (Parks-Improvements $839 + Parks-Open Space $839, multifamily) was confirmed by a prior second pass. The city's Building Fee Schedule adds a 7.50% administrative charge, previously uncaptured; the 7.5% rate is exact ($185.55 = 7.50% x the $2,474 single-family-attached park total). $1,678 x 1.075 = $1,803.85. DUP-GUARD by jurisdiction field on both tables 2026-08-05: no General Government or Admin row exists for Miami Gardens, so no double-count. FLAGGED because: the city's documents transpose SFD/SFA figures and swap the two park components between versions; the city's stated MF admin figure ($127.78) does not reconcile to 7.5% of $1,678 (would imply a $1,703.73 base), so this row applies 7.5% to the confirmed base rather than the stated dollar figure; and no adopting resolution was locatable despite Code Sec. 34-97(c) requiring one.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the total impact fees for a single-family home in Miami Gardens, Florida?

A new single-family home in Miami Gardens pays $17,400.10 per unit in combined impact fees (rates sourced August 5, 2026). This figure includes amounts that have not been confirmed with the jurisdiction; verify before budgeting.

How much are commercial impact fees in Miami Gardens?

Commercial development in Miami Gardens pays $16.33 per square foot in impact fees, at least $816,260.00 for a 50,000 sq ft building. This figure includes amounts that have not been confirmed and excludes fees with no published standard amount, so the full cost may be higher; verify before budgeting.

Does Miami Gardens charge its own impact fees?

Yes. Miami Gardens levies its own municipal impact or utility fees, and county-levied fees also apply inside city limits. The schedule on this page shows every fee that applies to development in Miami Gardens, with the combined total.

Can Florida impact fees increase at any time?

No. Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes limits increases to 50% at most, phased in over two to four years, unless the local government makes extraordinary-circumstances findings and approves the increase by at least a two-thirds vote.

Fee amounts on this page are compiled from official published schedules and are provided for planning purposes only. Rates change, and project specifics (unit size, meter size, location within special districts) can alter what applies. Always verify current fees with the jurisdiction and utility before relying on them.
