Impact Fees - Fort Worth Pass-Through Component
Source: City of Aledo Ordinance No. 2026-O-10, passed and approved February 19, 2026, which amends the Impact Fee Collection Rate Schedule of Ordinance No. 2022-154 to reflect impact fee pass-through charges from the City of Fort Worth. Exhibit E-2 sets the collected impact fee for water and wastewater. The table below is Year 2, effective October 1, 2026. The February 19, 2026 minutes record approval by unanimous vote.
Ordinance No. 2026-O-10 replaced only Exhibit E-2. Any other part of the Ordinance No. 2022-154 schedule, such as an Aledo-specific component, was not captured, so these amounts are the Fort Worth pass-through component and are not presented as the total impact fee for a connection.

Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not published by this jurisdiction as a dated fee schedule, not administered by it, or do not apply. They are disclosed here rather than estimated, paraphrased from a non-official source, or omitted silently. These items remain under limited-coverage review until any remaining gaps are closed from official sources.
Aledo impact fee component
The impact fee table above is the Fort Worth wholesale pass-through component set by Exhibit E-2. Whether Ordinance No. 2022-154 carries a separate Aledo component was not confirmed from a published source. Ask the City of Aledo for the full impact fee due on a specific connection.
Special district fees
The FY 2027 Municipal Fee Schedule has no PID, MUD or TIRZ line, and the City website and Economic Development Corporation page do not mention one. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Building permit fees
Building and trade permit fees also appear in the Municipal Fee Schedule. Building trade permit fees are outside the scope of this page.
Proffers
Cash proffers are a Virginia statutory instrument under Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303.4 with no Texas counterpart. Texas exactions run through Local Government Code Chapter 212 (subdivision and development) and Chapter 395 (impact fees). Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
