Granbury, Texas - City Development Fees

Q: Are zoning and plat application fees published in Granbury, TX?

Not as a retrievable document. Granbury's Subdivision Ordinance and Developer's Guide both defer plat and development-application fee amounts to a separate fee schedule adopted by resolution of the City Council, and that fee schedule is not published on the City website. The only fixed development amounts published are a construction inspection fee of $150.00 per day and a $50.00 safety inspection request. The full zoning and plat fee amounts would require a public-records request or a call to Community Development, and this item remains under limited-coverage review until an official schedule is confirmed.

Water and Sewer Impact Fees

Source: City of Granbury Ordinance 19-06. Granbury operates its own municipal water and wastewater utility and levies water and sewer impact fees by meter size under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395. The fees are tiered by final-plat date across five historical tiers (Tier 1 for plats before February 9, 2019 through Tier 5 for plats after February 20, 2024); the applicable tier is set by the final-plat date. The current Tier 5 amounts are shown below.

Impact Fee (current Tier 5, final plat after 2/20/2024)	Amount
Water impact fee - 3/4" meter	$8,111.00
Water impact fee - 1" meter	$13,546.00
Water impact fee - 2" meter	$43,232.00
Water impact fee - 4" meter	$135,213.00
Water impact fee - 6" meter	$270,345.00
Sewer impact fee - 3/4" meter	$6,491.00
Sewer impact fee - 1" meter	$10,839.00
Sewer impact fee - 4" meter	$108,200.00
Sewer impact fee - 6" meter	$216,335.00

The Ordinance 19-06 table lists all five historical tiers; a project's impact fee is assessed at the tier corresponding to its final-plat date, so plats recorded before February 20, 2024 are assessed at a lower prior tier. These capital-recovery impact fees are distinct from the utility's own meter set and tap connection charges in the section below.

Meter Set and Tap Fees

Source: City of Granbury Ordinance 19-06 (Meter Set, Water Tap, Sewer Tap Permit and Customer Application). These one-time meter set and tap connection charges are the utility's own connection costs and are distinct from the water and sewer impact fees above.

Connection	Fee
Meter setting fee - 3/4" water line	$600.00
Meter setting fee - 1" water line	$700.00
Meter setting fee - 2" and larger	Actual cost
Water tap - 1" without street cut (includes tap + meter box)	$2,500.00

Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover

Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not itemized in full on this page 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.

Zoning and plat application fees

Granbury's zoning and plat application fee amounts are not published as a retrievable document. The Subdivision Ordinance (Section 6.1, Schedule of Fees) and the Developer's Guide both defer plat and development-application fees to a separate fee schedule adopted by resolution of the City Council, and that fee schedule is not hosted on the City website. Substitute paths probed included the Forms, Applications and Fees page (tap application and construction specifications only), the Planning and Zoning page, the Plat and Public Improvements page, the Ordinances page, and a site search for "fee schedule," "plat fee," and "zoning fee" (no document results). The only fixed development amounts published are a construction inspection fee of $150.00 per day and a $50.00 safety inspection request. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources; the amounts would require a public-records request or a call to Community Development.

Source currency

Both confirmed fee families derive from the single Ordinance 19-06 document. At each review, ZoneFee re-downloads that document and re-verifies by byte-for-byte hash that it remains the governing adopted version and that no newer impact-fee tier has been adopted.

Special district fees

The City of Granbury levies no fee by a special district on its documents. In Texas, public improvement district formation costs under Local Government Code Chapter 372 and municipal utility district formation costs under Water Code Chapter 54 are recovered through the district itself or a negotiated development agreement, not through a standardized per-application city fee. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is 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.
