- Water Connection Fee (City of Davenport, MF)Requires confirmationCity of DavenportTHE $0 IS WRONG BUT NO FIGURE IS DEFENSIBLE — HELD, 2026-08-05. Davenport sec. 18-31(a) levies the water capital connection fee on ALL development requesting capacity, with no multifamily exemption, so publishing $0 asserts an absence that the code contradicts. But no per-unit amount can be published: Davenport's capital connection fees (sec. 18-31, Ord. 1317 of 10-21-2024, on the Raftelis 4/8/2024 study) are indexed SOLELY BY WATER METER SIZE. There is no land-use column and no dwelling-unit rate anywhere in Chapter 18. The per-unit outcome swings from $6,300 for an individually metered 3/4-inch connection (sec. 18-6(a), the SFR figure at recNPS3k6ls2CFkAV) down to a few hundred dollars per unit under a master meter, and closing that gap needs a multifamily ERU factor THE UTILITY DOES NOT PUBLISH. The standing rule forbids deriving one, so the row is held rather than filled. ALSO FLAGGED FOR A FUTURE PASS: sec. 18-1(a) sets a SEPARATE additional charge ($425 assembly + $2,180 installation for 3/4-inch) that is not carried anywhere in the base — a possible understatement on the SFR side too.

- Sewer Connection Fee (City of Davenport, MF)Requires confirmationCity of DavenportTHE $0 IS WRONG BUT NO FIGURE IS DEFENSIBLE — HELD, 2026-08-05. Same finding as the water row recciB58ntQvweLYQ: sec. 18-31(a) levies the capital connection fee on all development requesting capacity with no multifamily exemption, so $0 asserts an absence the code contradicts; but the fee is indexed solely by water meter size (Ord. 1317 of 10-21-2024, Raftelis 4/8/2024 study) with no land-use column and no dwelling-unit rate in Chapter 18. Per-unit outcome ranges from the $5,360 individually metered 3/4-inch figure (rec9srsF4XvkkrG8E) down to a few hundred dollars under a master meter, and no published multifamily ERU factor exists to resolve it. Held rather than derived. Round-3 2026-08-05; docs/verify-r3-davenport.json.

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.
