Infrastructure inspection deposit

The schedule requires an infrastructure inspection deposit of $2500 per acre under review. The Town refunds the balance after deducting staff review time at $75 per hour and any actual outside engineering review or inspection expenses, within 60 days of final inspection, and invoices for costs in excess of the deposit.

Water and Sewer Providers

Source: Hickory Creek Comprehensive Plan, City Services and Facilities (p. 15): "Water and Wastewater services for properties within Hickory Creek are largely provided by the Lake Cities Municipal Utility Authority (LCMUA)... The only area within Hickory Creek that is not serviced by the LCMUA is a portion in the southwest where Harbor Grove Estates is located. This area receives water from the Harbor Grove Water Supply Company."

Because the Town does not operate a water or sewer utility, it publishes no water or wastewater impact fee and no tap or connection fee. The Town fee schedule has no impact fee line, and the adopted 2026-2027 budget shows no impact fee revenue or fund. Water and sewer tap, connection and any impact fees are set by LCMUA or Harbor Grove Water Supply Company; their schedules are not captured on this page.

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 and utility taps

Not administered by the Town of Hickory Creek; see Water and Sewer Providers above. Closed-search outcome: not administered by this jurisdiction.

Public improvement district assessments

The Town Public Improvement District page links service and assessment plans for Hickory Creek PID No. 1, PID No. 2 and Hickory Farms PID. Those plans are hosted on a third-party PID administrator website, not the Town domain, and were not captured. No PID assessment amount is shown on this page. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.

Building permit fees

Building and trade permit fees also appear in the Master Application and Fee Schedule. Building trade permit fees are outside the scope of this page.

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.

Fee Authorities
