Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were not closed via confirmed standalone fee amounts on this page. They are disclosed here rather than estimated or omitted silently.
Utility Tap Fees
No discrete water tap or meter connection fee schedule is published in the City of Irving Consolidated Fee Schedule (the full 22-page document was keyword-scanned for "water tap," "tap fee," "water meter," and "water connection" with no standalone schedule found), and the City Utility Rates page (section=water-rates-fees) returns HTTP 403 even to a real browser context due to a selective WAF (three substitute paths probed). The new-development water and wastewater capacity charge is instead captured under the impact fee above (Chapter 395 water $1,605 / wastewater $1,088 per service unit). Closed-search outcome: this fee family is unavailable via official sources. A physical tap or meter-set charge may exist within utility processes but is not published in any located official source.
Special District Fees (PID / MUD / TIF)
No City-administered special-district (PID / MUD / TIF) developer application fee surfaced in the Consolidated Fee Schedule or the Planning fees-and-forms index (two substitute paths probed). Consistent with Texas peer precedent, tax-increment and special-district obligations, where they exist, are tax-roll assessments rather than standing City development application fees. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is not administered by this jurisdiction.
Proffers
Texas jurisdictions do not use Virginia-style cash proffers (Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303 has no Texas counterpart). Developer-side contributions in Irving occur through the impact fees, zoning, and platting fees captured above. Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
