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.
Sewer tap fees
Resolution No. 26-912 sets a water tap fee schedule only and prints no sewer tap amount. Contact the City of Humble for sewer connection charges.
Zoning and plat fees
The City published notice of a September 10, 2026 public hearing to consider a schedule of fees for regulatory inspections, permitting, and applications that would take effect October 1, 2026. That schedule is not posted on the City website. The only posted permitting fee sheet is dated October 1, 2024, so it is not presented here as current. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Impact fees
Resolution No. 26-912, the October 2024 permit fee sheet, and the City's posted documents contain no impact fee schedule, and no adopted Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee ordinance was found on the City domain. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Special district fees
No public improvement district (PID), municipal utility district (MUD), or other developer-paid special-district fee appears in the City's posted fee documents. Closed-search outcome: 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.
