Water$0.00
  • Water Service & Tap Connection Fee (City of St. Marks)
    City of St. Marks
    Internal research note: St. Marks City Code sec. 74-60 establishes two distinct charges — (a) a 'service connection fee' according to location of the connection and size of line, and (b) a 'tap connection fee' according to location and size of line — each 'as set forth by resolution of the Board.' The row name correctly captures both. No amount is codified for either. cityofstmarks.com's document center posts only the 2026 sewer adjustment policy resolution and its form; no rate or connection-fee resolution is online, and the linked utility billing application PDF returns 404. Because both fees exist and only the numbers are missing, this is INFERRED_0 rather than SPLIT_NEEDED with amounts, and it is not a documented zero. 8/5/2026

Sewer$0.00
  • Sewer Connection Fee (City of St. Marks)
    City of St. Marks
    Internal research note: St. Marks operates a wastewater system (FDEP WAFR lists 'St Marks WWTF', active, 0.05 MGD design capacity). Municode ch. 74 sec. 74-107(c) states 'All connection fees, monthly service rates, and costs for residential and commercial accounts shall be set by the resolution of the board.' No amount is codified. cityofstmarks.com's Utility Billing > Billing Policies & Documents document center holds only Resolution 2026-01 (sewer adjustment policy) and its form; no rate or connection-fee resolution is posted, and the linked utility-billing application PDF returns 404. Codified-but-deferred amount, so INFERRED_0. 8/5/2026

Water$0.00
  • Water Service & Tap Connection Fee (City of St. Marks, MF)
    City of St. Marks
    Internal research note: St. Marks sec. 74-60 establishes both a 'service connection fee' and a 'tap connection fee,' each by size of line and location, and each 'as set forth by resolution of the Board.' Sec. 74-60(d) and sec. 74-63 require every residential unit to be treated as a separate unit with its own connection and meter, so a per-unit multifamily basis exists. No amounts are codified and no rate resolution is published on the city website. INFERRED_0. 8/5/2026
    Requires confirmation
Sewer$0.00
  • Sewer Connection Fee (City of St. Marks, MF)
    City of St. Marks
    Internal research note: A per-unit multifamily basis clearly exists — sec. 74-60(d) provides that 'Each residential unit whether occupying one or more lots and whether it shall occupy any lot or parcel jointly with any other residential unit shall be considered a separate unit for the payment of the water fees and the sewage disposal fees, and separate connections and meters will be required for each of such units.' But sec. 74-107(c) leaves all connection fees to be 'set by the resolution of the board,' and no such resolution is published on cityofstmarks.com (the document center holds only the 2026 sewer adjustment policy). Amount unknown, basis is per unit, so INFERRED_0. 8/5/2026

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.
