Utility Tap Fees
Source: City of Azle Fee Tables Rev. 7.7.26, page 7, "Water Tap Fees" and "Sewer (Wastewater) Tap Fees." Azle administers its own water and wastewater taps; the fee depends on whether the tap is in a paved or unpaved area.
| Tap | Paved Area | Unpaved Area |
|---|---|---|
| Water - 5/8 x 3/4 inch | $2,100.00 | $1,100.00 |
| Water - 1 inch | $2,315.00 | $1,315.00 |
| Water - 1-1/2 inch | $2,630.00 | $1,630.00 |
| Water - 2 inch | $3,650.00 | $2,650.00 |
| Water - larger than 2 inch | Call for estimate | Call for estimate |
| Sewer - 4 inch | $2,690.00 | $1,760.00 |
| Sewer - 6 inch | $3,920.00 | $2,100.00 |
| Sewer - 8 inch | $4,220.00 | $2,400.00 |
Where the service line for a water tap has already been installed at the tap location, the charge is $375.00 for a 5/8 x 3/4-inch meter and the actual cost of materials for all other sizes. A fire hydrant meter deposit is $2,000.00 (Table 5).
Authority: City of Azle. Water deposits, account initiation, and monthly service charges are account-service charges, not development fees, and are excluded here.
Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not administered by this jurisdiction, not published as a fixed dollar figure, or do not apply. They are disclosed here rather than estimated, paraphrased from a non-official source, or omitted silently.
Currency caveat
The fees on this page derive from the City of Azle Fee Tables, each page headed "Rev. 7.7.26." The tables print a revision date but no adopting ordinance or resolution number, so the revision date is the currency anchor. A later revision may supersede these amounts. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Azle before relying on them.
Impact fee amounts
The fee tables do not state whether the impact amounts are the adopted maximum assessable fees or a lower collection rate, and commercial roadway impact fees are by estimate rather than a published figure. Request a written impact fee estimate from the City of Azle for a specific site.
Special district fees
The Planning and Development Fee Tables contain no public improvement district (PID), municipal utility district (MUD), tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ), or other developer-initiated special-district fee. The only district pages on the City website are the Municipal Development District (a sales-tax economic development entity) and the Crime Control and Prevention District, neither of which charges developer fees. 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.
