    City of Mulberry
    CONFIRMED 8/6/2026 (was flagged on currency). City of Mulberry 'Water Capacity/Meter Set Fee Schedule' (posted at cityofmulberryfl.org/building-department/page/development-fee-schedules; provided by Turner) lists the inside-city water capacity fee at $2,559.60 (outside city $3,199.00) — matches the codified sec. 19-155(d) figure exactly. The schedule is stamped eff. 10/1/2021 and remains the city's currently-posted schedule, so the sec. 19-164 annual CPI indexing ('if any increase occurs; never downward') has not been applied to the capacity fee — 10/1/2021 is current-unchanged, not stale. Amount = capacity/impact component only; additional one-time charges on the same schedule: water meter set fee $302.23 (5/8x3/4"), water tap fee $500 (3/4").

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.

For a primer on how impact fees work, see our plain-English guide.
