Copperas Cove, Texas - City Development Fees

Fee Summary

Zoning and Plat Application Fees

Source: City of Copperas Cove Fee Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), Planning & Development. The rezoning, variance, site plan, and plat application fees below are captured verbatim from that schedule.

Authority: City of Copperas Cove - Planning & Development. The fees above confirm the zoning and platting fee family for this jurisdiction. Confirm the plat category and per-lot add-on applicable to a given project directly with the City.

Water and Sewer Tap Fees

Source: City of Copperas Cove Fee Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), Public Works / Utilities. Copperas Cove runs its own municipal water and sewer utility. The water meter and sewer tap charges below are captured from that schedule.

Authority: City of Copperas Cove - Public Works (Water & Sewer). Additional meter-size connection and tap lines are present 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 Copperas Cove Fee Schedule (effective January 1, 2026). Fee schedules change. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Copperas Cove before relying on them.

Additional utility connection lines

The adopted Fee Schedule contains additional meter-size connection and tap lines beyond the water meter set, MXU, curb stop, meter box reset, and 6-inch sewer tap shown above. The items on this page are captured from the same dated schedule; confirm the specific connection or meter-size charge applicable to a given project directly with the City.

Impact fees

No Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee (water, wastewater, roadway, or drainage) is enumerated in the City of Copperas Cove's adopted Fee Schedule. 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 Copperas Cove 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 Copperas Cove 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.
