Utility Tap Fees
Source: Hewitt Master Fee Schedule FY 2026-2027, "Utility Fees - Water Taps & Meter Set" and "Wastewater Taps & Service Connection Fees" (p.7), identical to the adopted FY 2025-26 schedule. Each tap amount is a base fee with the balance "Quoted on a per-cost basis," so these are minimum amounts, not all-in totals.
Water taps and meter set
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| All water taps | $2000 base fee - quoted on a per-cost basis |
| 5/8" x 3/4" meter set | $450 + cost of meter box if needed |
| 3/4" x 3/4" meter set | $500 + cost of meter box if needed |
| 1" or larger service or meter set | Base fee - quoted on a per-cost basis |
Before any water line is connected to a City water main, the party requesting the connection pays the City the water service installation and meter fees for labor and materials.
Wastewater taps and service connection fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| All wastewater taps | $1000 base fee - quoted on a per-cost basis |
| 4" tap | $2000 base fee - quoted on a per-cost basis |

| 8" or larger lateral | $2000 base fee - quoted on a per-cost basis |
| Service lines requiring cutting or boring of paved streets or alleys | Minimum charge of $1000 base fee - quoted on a per-cost basis |
The decision on a bore or utility cut is made by Community Services. Monthly water and wastewater rates and meter testing deposits in the same schedule are not development fees and are not covered here.
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.
Impact fees
Neither the FY 2026-2027 nor the adopted FY 2025-26 Master Fee Schedule contains an impact fee or capital recovery line, the FY 2026-27 Utility Fee Schedule has no impact fee, and the City sitemap has no impact fee page. No adopted Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee schedule was found. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Special district fees
The Master Fee Schedule and Utility Fee Schedule contain no public improvement district (PID), municipal utility district (MUD), or other special-district fee; no such page appears in the City sitemap, and the Economic Development page carries no district fee schedule. 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.
