Water$8,750.00
  • Water Capacity Fee (City of Sopchoppy)
    City of Sopchoppy
    CREATED 8/5/2026 (adversarial verification, owner-approved gap-fill). Sopchoppy Code Ch. 18, Article V - Capacity Fee, sec. 18-150: 'The city hereby imposes a charge on all new users of the city's potable water system in the amount of $7,200.00 per equivalent residential connection. (Ord. No. 2024-01, s 1, 4-8-2024).' This charge had NO row anywhere in the base, and the companion 'Water Connection Fee (City of Sopchoppy)' row carried only the $1,550 connection fee - understating what a new home pays by 4.6x. Created as its own row per the owner ruling that a separately adopted, different fee gets its own row rather than being merged. SIBLING-ROW CHECK: Sopchoppy's other rows are Water Connection Fee, Municipal Impact Fees ($0), County Impact Fees (Wakulla overlay) and Sewer System Connection Fee (Wakulla County) - none of which carries this charge, so there is no double count. SB 180 does not reach it: adopted 4/8/2024, before the 8/1/2024 retroactivity date. Ord. 2024-02 is a different instrument covering only monthly base and usage charges.
    $7,200.00
  • Water Connection Fee (City of Sopchoppy)
    City of Sopchoppy
    RESTORED AND SCOPED 8/5/2026 (adversarial verification, owner-approved). The $1,550 is correct for this row: Sopchoppy Code sec. 18-51(a) sets the water connection fee at $1,550.00, stated to include the $800 meter set fee. Its history is Ord. 2002-1 / 2016-01 / 2021-06 - NOT Ord. 2024-02 as an earlier note said. The separately adopted $7,200 per-ERC capacity fee (Art. V, sec. 18-150, Ord. 2024-01 of 4/8/2024) that this row was previously understating now has its OWN row, 'Water Capacity Fee (City of Sopchoppy)', per the owner ruling that a different separately adopted fee gets its own row. The combined $8,750 real cost is disclosed in this row's public note so no reader is misled by the scoping.

Water$0.00
  • Water Connection Fee (City of Sopchoppy, MF)
    City of Sopchoppy
    Internal research note: Sopchoppy City Code sec. 18-51(a) publishes its full connection fee table. The only per-dwelling-unit line is 'Residential 5/8 in. meter' ($1,550 inside city, $1,975 outside). Everything else — including a master-metered multifamily building — falls under 'General service,' priced strictly by meter size: 5/8 in. $1,890, 1 in. $3,080, 1.5 in. $4,690, 2 in. $8,680, 3 in. $10,435, 4 in. $17,265 inside the city (outside-city column runs $2,485 to $25,297). There is no per-unit or per-ERU multifamily rate anywhere in the schedule, so a per-unit amount does not exist. Meets the owner's MF meter-size-only rule for DOCUMENTED_0 because the meter-size basis is affirmatively published. Ord. No. 2024-02, 4-8-2024. 8/5/2026

    AMOUNT CONFIRMED CURRENT, MF PRICING PHONE-ONLY (re-checked 8/3/2026). County page (mywakulla.com Public Works sewer connections; 403s WebFetch, serves via curl+browser UA) prints residential hookup exactly as recorded: $4,050 contractor-installed tap / $5,500 county-installed paved road / $5,000 dirt road. For multifamily the page says only 'Commercial meter – please call (850) 926-7616 for pricing' — the MF question is confirmed unresolvable online; $4,050 per residential unit stands as the best published figure.

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.
