Belton, Texas - City Development Fees

Fee Summary

Zoning and Plat Application Fees

Source: City of Belton Fee Schedule (effective October 1, 2026), Zoning & Subdivisions section, adopted under Ordinance #2026-29. The zoning, variance, site plan, and subdivision plat application fees below are captured verbatim from that schedule.

Authority: City of Belton - Planning & Community Development. The fees above confirm the zoning and platting fee family for this jurisdiction. Confirm the specific tier and per-lot or per-acre add-on applicable to a given project directly with the City.

Water and Sewer Tap Fees

Source: City of Belton Fee Schedule (effective October 1, 2026), Water Tapping & Meter Fees and Sewer Tapping Fees (both Ordinance #2026-29). Belton runs its own municipal water and sewer utility. The tap, meter, and inspection charges below are captured verbatim from that schedule.

Authority: City of Belton - Public Works (Water & Sewer). Meters 3 inches and above are installed by the customer, and all meters must be purchased from the City. Fire hydrant meter deposits and monthly base rates by meter size are in the same schedule. Monthly water and sewer service rates and volumetric charges are recurring billing charges, not one-time 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 published in the City's official development fee sources or are levied outside the City fee schedule. 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 zoning and plat application fees and the utility tap fees on this page derive from the City of Belton Fee Schedule effective October 1, 2026 (Ordinance #2026-29), which replaced the schedule effective January 1, 2026 previously cited here. That schedule raised the new meter set base fee and the contractor-installed fire line tap fee, tiered commercial site plan review by site size, and dropped the separate water tap and meter line with no street cut. Fee schedules change. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Belton before relying on them.

Impact fees

No Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee (water, wastewater, roadway, or drainage) is enumerated in the City of Belton's adopted Fee Schedule effective October 1, 2026. Closed-search outcome: not published via official sources. This is a finding that no published impact fee line was located in the adopted schedule, not a positive determination that the City administers a zero impact fee.

Special district fees

The adopted City of Belton fee schedule contains no city-administered special-district line item: no Public Improvement District (PID) application or administration fee and no tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ) fee. Any special-district assessments in or around Belton would be levied by the district under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 372 (PID) or Chapter 311 (TIRZ), not through the City fee schedule. Closed-search outcome: no city-administered special-district fee to report.

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), Chapter 245 (vested rights), and Chapter 395 (impact fees). Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
