Water$3,598.00 one-time
  • Water Impact Fee (City of Opa-locka) — 1" meter, 2.5 ERU
    City of Opa-locka
    CANONICAL 1" METER DEFAULT. ⚠️ City's own codified W/S impact fee: LDR Ch. 22 Division 5, Sec. 22-385 (Ord. 15-24, 7-22-2015). $1,439 per water ERU; meter→ERU factors are the AWWA maximum-flow criteria (3/4"=1.0, 1"=2.5, 1.5"=5, 2"=8, 3"=16, 4"=25, 6"=50, 8"=80). 1" = 2.5 ERU × $1,439 = $3,598. ONE shared ladder for all customer classes (nonres = SFR at the same meter size — shared-ladder precedent). UNCONFIRMED — APPLICABILITY IN DOUBT: the City has 'transitioned water utility services to Miami-Dade County WASD' (opalockafl.gov/336) including billing, collections, sewer disposal and meter management, and Code Ch. 21 has no impact fee (only cost-based connection charges). Whether the City still collects this LDR fee at permit, whether WASD's $1.39/gal connection charge displaces it, or whether BOTH apply, is unresolved — both are entered. Call (305) 688-4611.

NO meter ladder; nonres gpd assigned by land use under County Code Sec. 24-43.1(5). PROVIDER: the City states it 'has transitioned water utility services to Miami-Dade County WASD,' including billing, collections, sewer disposal, and replacement/management of water meters (opalockafl.gov/336). UNCONFIRMED — the City ALSO still has a codified W/S impact fee of its own (LDR Sec. 22-385, Ord. 15-24), entered separately; it is not established which of the two is collected on a new nonres connection, or whether both are. Call Opa-locka Public Works / Planning (305) 688-4611.

ONE shared ladder for all customer classes. UNCONFIRMED — APPLICABILITY IN DOUBT: the City has 'transitioned water utility services to Miami-Dade County WASD' including sewer disposal service; whether this LDR fee is still collected at permit, is displaced by WASD's $5.60/gal sewer connection charge, or stacks with it, is unresolved — both are entered.

    $0.17/sq ft
  • Road Drainage Impact Fee (City of Opa-locka, Office)
    City of Opa-locka
    UNCONFIRMED — NO OFFICE ROW IN THE SCHEDULE.

Sec. 22-277(A)(2) makes it an ADMINISTRATIVE DETERMINATION: the administrative official 'shall use the road drainage impact fee applicable to the most nearly comparable type of land use,' guided by the comprehensive plan and the land use and development regulations. NEAREST ANALOGS: Retail $1.062/sf (if read as a commercial use) or Institutional $0.668/sf. $0 entered pending the City's determination — the fee is almost certainly nonzero.

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.
