$1,300.00 per wastewater connection inside Town limits. Callahan Code Ch. 190, Art. II, §190-3(A), Ord. No. 2019-O04 (6-17-2019). Outside limits: $1,950. Stated as a minimum — actual cost applies if higher. Per connection, not per dwelling unit.

Internal research note: CORRECTION — the row name is wrong and an earlier pass over the Callahan code book index missed this. The town's Code Book index page links Chapter 102 (Fees) under a scanned filename rather than the CA1432 pattern used by the other chapters, so it drops out of a naive chapter listing. Chapter 102 Article IV is titled 'New Development Impact Fees', adopted 6-6-2005 by Ord. No. 5-O-2005 and amended 1-3-2017 by Ord. No. 2016-O07 and 8-17-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-O07. Sec. 102-22 as currently supplemented (Supp 15, Nov 2020): 'New residential development shall be assessed an impact fee of $3,000 for water and wastewater infrastructure, $200 for streets, and $500 for parks and recreational infrastructure per unit for development within the Town's limits' = $3,700 per unit. Outside the town limits the residential impact fee is $3,750 for water and wastewater plus a $750 surcharge = $4,500 per unit. Sec. 102-28 defines 'unit' as one dwelling. Sec. 102-24 requires payment before issuance of any new building permit; Sec. 102-25 refunds all but 5% if the permit expires unused; Sec. 102-26 lets the Council reduce or waive the fee where a developer conveys an offsetting benefit. Corroboration that the article is live: the town's Disposition List records Ord. 5-O-2005 'New development impact' at Ch. 102 Art. IV and Ord. 2016-O07 'Fees: new development impact fees amendment' at Ch. 102 Art. IV, with no repeal; the only suspension on record is Ord. 2011-O03, a six-month suspension in 2011 that lapsed. TRAP: the town's Building & Zoning Permits page links a stale copy of Chapter 102 (Chapter_102_-_Fees.pdf, generated January 2018) that still shows the superseded 2017 amounts of $1,500 water and sewer plus $250 parks = $1,750; the Code Book copy cited here carries the current 2020 amendment, and the companion Ord. 2020-O07 amendments to Ch. 190 connection charges confirm the 2020 supplement is the operative one. This impact fee is separate from and on top of the Ch. 190 water and wastewater connection charges of $1,300 each. SB 180 check: the operative amendment is dated 8/17/2020, nearly four years before the 8/1/2024 retroactive date, and no post-8/1/2024 Callahan impact fee adoption or increase was found, so the SB 180 restriction on adopting or increasing impact fees does not reach this fee. Renaming the row to drop the incorrect 'none identified' suffix. 8/5/2026.

Callahan does not collect any Nassau County impact fees (including mobility). Per nassaucountyfl.com/1494/Impact-Fees: 'Callahan and Hilliard do not collect any County impact fees and are not required to in the future.'

Internal research note: MF no-per-unit-basis rule. Town of Callahan Code ch. 190 art. II (as amended 8/17/2020 by Ord. 2020-O07) sets the water connection charge per physical connection, not per dwelling unit: the town makes water main connections, service lines and meter installations at a minimum cost to the customer of $1,300.00 for each water connection within town limits; outside town limits the fee is $1,625.00 plus a $325.00 surcharge for a total of $1,950.00; excess actual cost is billed where site conditions require it, and customers with water lines over two inches are charged the actual cost of the lines and meters in addition. There is no multifamily rate class anywhere in ch. 190 — the rate schedule has only residential and commercial/nonprofit classes — and no per-unit or per-ERU connection charge is published. Treatment capacity may separately be reserved at $1 per 300 gallons, non-refundable. Basis affirmatively published, so DOCUMENTED_0 per the multifamily rule. SB 180 check: last amended 8/17/2020, before the retroactive date, so SB 180 is not implicated. 8/5/2026.

Internal research note: CORRECTION — same as the Callahan SFR row. Callahan Code Chapter 102 Article IV, 'New Development Impact Fees' (Ord. No. 5-O-2005, amended by Ord. No. 2016-O07 on 1-3-2017 and Ord. No. 2020-O07 on 8-17-2020) was missed on an earlier pass because the Code Book index links Chapter 102 under a scanned filename outside the CA1432 naming pattern used for the other chapters. Sec. 102-22 assesses new residential development $3,000 for water and wastewater infrastructure, $200 for streets and $500 for parks and recreational infrastructure PER UNIT inside the town limits, totalling $3,700; outside the town limits the residential rate is $3,750 plus a $750 surcharge = $4,500 per unit. The multifamily treatment is explicit: Sec. 102-28, as amended 8-17-2020, defines 'unit' as one dwelling and states that 'multiple dwellings located within one structure are counted as multiple units', so every apartment in a 4-story building is assessed the full $3,700. Sec. 102-29's 'equivalent dwelling unit' of 1,500 square feet governs the commercial fee in Sec. 102-23, not the residential fee, and there is no square-footage tiering on the residential side — so the canonical 1,000 sf multifamily unit pays the full amount. Fee due before issuance of any new building permit. TRAP: the copy of Chapter 102 linked from the town's Building & Zoning Permits page was generated in January 2018 and still shows the superseded 2017 figures ($1,500 + $250 = $1,750); the Code Book copy cited here carries the current 2020 supplement. This is separate from the Ch. 190 water and wastewater connection charges of $1,300 each. SB 180 check: operative amendment dated 8/17/2020, well before the 8/1/2024 retroactive date, and no later increase found, so SB 180 does not reach this fee. Renaming the row to drop the incorrect 'none identified' suffix. 8/5/2026.
