Utility Tap and Meter Fees
Source: City of Euless code, Chapter 30, Sections 30-33 and 30-34. Euless bills water and sewer taps and meters on a cost formula rather than a flat schedule, so the figures below are the formula and the fixed add-ons rather than a single tap dollar amount.
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Water / sprinkler meters and meter boxes | Actual cost of materials and labor + 15% |
| City-made water and sewer taps | Cost of labor and materials + 15% (private contractor alternative allowed) |
| Street cut (where a utility cannot be bored) | $350.00 per lane (12-ft width) |
| Water deposit - residential | $100.00 |
| Water deposit - commercial sprinkler | $450.00 |
| Water deposit - shell buildings | $200.00 (plus service initiation fee) |
Authority: City of Euless Water Utilities / Public Works. These are the one-time developer-side connection charges; recurring monthly water and sewer service rates are billed separately and are not development costs.
Impact Fees (Water and Sewer)
Source: City of Euless code, Chapter 30, Section 30-33, Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 water and sewer impact fees (Ord. 2359, adopted August 21, 2023). The code lists several plat-date tiers; the current tier applies to final plats recorded after April 9, 2013, and is the only tier shown below. Amounts are by meter size (water plus sewer equals total).
| Meter Size | Water | Sewer | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5/8 in. or 3/4 in. | $1,477.90 | $524.70 | $2,002.60 |
| 1 in. | - | $5,006.50 | |
| 1.5 in. | - | $10,013.00 | |
| 2 in. | - | $16,020.80 | |

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 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 zoning, tap, and impact fees on this page derive from the City of Euless code, Chapter 30, current through Ord. 2439 (with the impact fee schedule adopted by Ord. 2359). Fee schedules change. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Euless before relying on them.
Cost-formula tap fees
Euless does not publish a flat water or sewer tap dollar amount. Taps and meters are billed at the actual cost of materials and labor plus 15 percent, so a project-specific figure requires a quote from the City at the time of service. ZoneFee reports the formula and fixed add-ons rather than inventing a flat tap amount.
Special district fees
No PID or TIF development or application fee appears in the full Chapter 30 capture. Euless is a built-out inner-DFW suburb with no MUD or PID overlap recorded. 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.
