Haltom City, Texas - City Development Fees

Fee Summary

Impact Fees

Source: Haltom City FY 2025-2026 Fee Schedule (City Council approved January 23, 2026), Impact Fees section. Haltom City operates its own municipal water and wastewater utilities and levies water and wastewater impact fees under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395, assessed by the water-meter size of the new connection. The water and wastewater impact fees are separate charges collected together at connection.

Water and wastewater impact fees are capital-recovery fees keyed to the water-meter size of the connection: a single-family connection on a standard 3/4-inch meter pays $1,166.54 for water and $2,115.33 for wastewater. These are genuine, city-administered Chapter 395 impact fees. They are distinct from any connection plan-review or inspection charge and from monthly utility billing.

Zoning and Platting Application Fees

Source: Haltom City FY 2025-2026 Fee Schedule (City Council approved January 23, 2026), Community Development - Application and Variance Fees. The platting, rezoning, conditional use permit, and variance application fees below are captured verbatim from that schedule.

Authority: Haltom City - Community Development (Planning / Zoning). The fees above confirm the zoning and platting fee family for this jurisdiction. Confirm any additional per-lot or per-acre add-on applicable to a given plat directly with the City.

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 impact fees and the zoning and platting application fees on this page derive from the Haltom City FY 2025-2026 Fee Schedule (City Council approved January 23, 2026). Fee schedules change. Confirm current amounts directly with Haltom City before relying on them.

Utility tap and connection fees

The adopted Haltom City FY 2025-2026 Fee Schedule does not publish a discrete water or sewer tap or connection fee by meter size. It lists connection construction plan-review and inspection charges, a contractor fire-sprinkler connection tap charge, and a street-bore charge for water service. Because a discrete tap fee is not itemized, ZoneFee reports this fee family as not published via official sources rather than estimating it. The Chapter 395 water and wastewater impact fees above are published and assessed by meter size. Closed-search outcome: no discrete tap fee schedule to report.

Special district fees

The adopted Haltom City 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 Haltom City 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.
