Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below are subject to a documented caveat or are not administered by this jurisdiction. 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.
Currency caveat
The fees on this page derive from the City of Angleton Schedule of Fees adopted by Ordinance No. 20250226-004 (February 26, 2025) and Ordinance No. 20250311-015 (March 11, 2025). Fee schedules change. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Angleton before relying on them.
Chapter 395 impact-fee scope
The impact-type charges on this page are the City's capital cost recovery fees by meter size, plus the adopted schedule's reference to active impact-fee areas. Whether Angleton also maintains a separate formal Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact-fee study or ordinance, setting per-service-unit water, wastewater, or roadway impact fees for those designated areas, was not separately captured on this pass. ZoneFee presents the capital cost recovery fees as such rather than asserting a distinct Chapter 395 per-service-unit fee. Closed-search outcome: any separate Chapter 395 impact-fee schedule to be confirmed with the City before relying on it.
Special district fees
The adopted Schedule of Fees contains no public improvement district (PID) or other special-district application or consent-agreement fee. Closed-search outcome: not administered by this jurisdiction.
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.
