Fulshear, Texas - City Development Fees

Fee Summary

Impact Fees

Source: City of Fulshear Master Fee Schedule (Planning Services). No Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 water, wastewater, or roadway impact fee schedule was locatable via official sources. The comprehensive 8-page Master Fee Schedule contains no impact fee line item. It instead lists the following review and capacity charges under "Subdivision Infrastructure" - these are study-review and capacity charges, not Chapter 395 assessed impact fees:

Much of Fulshear's new-development water and wastewater capacity is financed through Fort Bend County Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), which levy their own connection and capacity charges within their boundaries. That is a strong signal that citywide Chapter 395 impact fees may not be administered by the City, but the negative could not be fully proven from published sources, so this fee family is recorded as not published via official sources rather than not administered. Confirm any impact fee, capital recovery fee, or MUD connection charge directly with the City of Fulshear and the applicable MUD before relying on this section.

Zoning and Plat Application Fees

Source: City of Fulshear Master Fee Schedule (Planning Services), Platting and Zoning & Public Notice sections. The fees below are captured from the adopted schedule.

Authority: City of Fulshear Development Services / Planning Services. Entitlement fees escalate by land area - a Zoning Map Amendment or SUP is $600 plus $15 per acre, and plats run from $200 for an amending or minor plat to $500 plus per-lot and per-acre charges for preliminary and final plats. A Civil Plan Review for subdivision infrastructure is $950. There is no standalone Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning application fee line; a PUD application form exists and PUD review runs through the zoning amendment process.

Water and Sewer Tap Fees

Source: City of Fulshear Master Fee Schedule (Planning Services), Utility Fees section. Fulshear does not publish a single flat water or sewer tap fee - most new-development water and wastewater connection in the city's master-planned communities is administered by Fort Bend County MUDs, which set those tap and connection charges. What the City administers and publishes are the meter and connection hardware charges below.

Authority: City of Fulshear Public Works (Utilities). These are the city-administered meter and connection hardware charges. Refundable meter deposits (Meters under 2 inches $100; Meters over 2 inches $150; Commercial $500) are also listed in the schedule but are deposits, not tap fees, and are excluded here. Because most new-development connection is MUD-administered, developers should confirm the applicable water and wastewater tap and capacity charges with the relevant Fort Bend County MUD in addition to these city charges.

Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover

Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not published via official 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 these gaps are closed from official sources.

Effective date

The City of Fulshear Master Fee Schedule does not print an adoption or effective date on the document. The zoning, plat, and utility charges on this page derive from the current Master Fee Schedule as published on the City's Planning Services fee-schedule page. Confirm the governing fee ordinance and current amounts directly with the City before relying on them.

Impact fees

No Chapter 395 water, wastewater, or roadway impact fee schedule was found in the Master Fee Schedule or via official-source search. The review and capacity charges listed in the Impact Fees section above (Traffic Impact Analysis Review, Drainage Impact Analysis, Wastewater Treatment Plant Fee, Water Plant Inspection Fee) are study-review and capacity charges, not assessed Chapter 395 impact fees. Because much of Fulshear's infrastructure is MUD-financed, citywide impact fees may not be administered, but this could not be fully proven from published sources. Confirm with the City and the applicable MUD.

Special district fees

Fulshear overlaps numerous Fort Bend County Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) that finance and operate water, wastewater, and drainage infrastructure across its master-planned communities (for example, Cross Creek Ranch, Fulshear Run, and Jordan Ranch area MUDs), and it has Type A and Type B Development Corporations. However, MUD assessments under Texas Water Code Chapter 54 and Public Improvement District (PID) assessments under Local Government Code Chapter 372 are levied and collected by the district, not through the city's fee schedule, which contains no PID or MUD assessment line item. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is not administered by this jurisdiction as a standard city fee. Any MUD or PID assessment is per-district and project-specific.

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

Fee Authorities
