- Water Service Connection Charge (City of Fernandina Beach)$2,000.00City of Fernandina Beach$2,000.00 per connection — CONFIRMED 7/13/2026. Source: City of Fernandina Beach Public Works/Utilities Fee Schedule, Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (fbfl.us/DocumentCenter/View/6690), Water > Connection Charges: 'Service Connection (per Connection) $2,000.00' and 'Service Connection > 2 inch (per Connection) $2,000.00'. Meter Installation is charged separately: 5/8-inch/3/4-inch $250.00; 1-inch $334.78; >1-inch actual cost; additional meter box next to existing $750.00. NOTE: all charges incur a 25% surcharge for properties outside Fernandina Beach corporate limits. Prior audits had this at $0 'unconfirmed — .docx not readable'; the .docx renders cleanly through the Google Docs viewer. FB has NO separate water capacity/system-development charge — the $2,000 connection charge is the one-time water charge.
- Sewer Service Connection Charge (City of Fernandina Beach)$0.00City of Fernandina Beach$0 flat fee — CONFIRMED COST-BASED, not a gap. Source: City of Fernandina Beach Public Works/Utilities Fee Schedule FY2025-2026 (fbfl.us/DocumentCenter/View/6690), Wastewater > Connection Charges: 'Service Connection (per connection) = Actual Cost'; Road Bore, Core Manhole Bore for Service, and all pipe extensions are likewise Actual Cost. Sewer Main Tap is also Actual Cost. There is therefore NO published flat sewer connection/capacity fee to enter — the developer pays the city's actual cost of the connection. 25% surcharge applies outside city limits. This retires the prior '⚠️ Unconfirmed — .docx not readable' note (the .docx renders through the Google Docs viewer). Confirm project-specific cost with the Utility Dept, 904-310-3400.

UNCONFIRMED — AUDIT 7/13/2026: Fernandina Beach's municipal impact fees are not codified in the Code of Ordinances or the Land Development Code, and are absent from the city's Permit Fee Schedule (Ord. 2024-17). The only published rates come from a consultant summary (ETM Inc. 2/2024) that disclaims accuracy; that URL has been removed as a source. Confirm with the Building Dept 904-310-3135 / buildingpermits@fbfl.city. Note the city commissioned an impact fee study (RFP 23-06) — watch for a re-adopted schedule.

The only published figures come from a CONSULTANT summary (ETM Inc., 2/2024) which expressly disclaims accuracy — not an adopted city schedule, so it is not cited as the source URL. Confirm the current adopted per-sf rate with the Building Dept: 904-310-3135 / buildingpermits@fbfl.city, or the City Clerk (uncodified ordinances) at 904-310-3115.

- Nassau County Mobility Fee — Zone 1 East (collected by City of Fernandina Beach)$7,660.90Requires confirmationCity of Fernandina Beach (via interlocal agreement with Nassau County)AUDIT 7/13/2026 — AMOUNT CORRECTED from $3,989.51 (a May-2022 rate carried on a consultant sheet) to $7,660.90. Nassau County's Notice of New and Updated Mobility Fees is captioned 'For All Unincorporated AND Incorporated Areas of Nassau County' and sets Zone 1 (East — which includes Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach) Single-Family Detached (ITE 210) at $7,660.90 effective 4/1/2026, rising to $11,332.29 on 4/1/2027. Plus a 1.5% administrative fee. Per nassaucountyfl.com/1494/Impact-Fees, Fernandina Beach collects ONLY the mobility portion of the county impact fee (no other county fee) and may amend its interlocal to cease collection at any time. STILL UNCONFIRMED: whether FB has amended its interlocal agreement to adopt the new 2026 county rates — the FB Planning Board publicly opposed the increase. Confirm with the FB City Commission / Building Dept 904-310-3135. The MF records for FB already used the 2026 Zone 1 rates, so this fixes an internal SFR/MF inconsistency.

- Water Service Connection Charge (City of Fernandina Beach, MF)Requires confirmationCity of Fernandina Beach$0 — UNCONFIRMED per-unit basis. AUDIT 7/13/2026: the FB FY2025-26 Utilities Fee Schedule (fbfl.us/DocumentCenter/View/6690) sets the water Service Connection at $2,000.00 PER CONNECTION (any meter size), not per dwelling unit, plus a separate meter installation charge ($250 for 5/8-3/4 inch).

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.
