Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not published by this jurisdiction as a dated fee schedule, not administered by it, or do not apply. 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.
Special district fees
All 24 pages of the restated Master Fee Schedule ordinance were reviewed and contain no public improvement district (PID), municipal utility district (MUD), or tax increment reinvestment zone fee line. The City website lists a TIRZ No. 1 board but publishes no developer-facing special-district fee schedule, and the Master Fee Schedule and building permitting pages carry none. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
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.
