The fee that applies depends on when the land was platted: Schedule A covers land platted April 2, 2018 through September 6, 2022, Schedule B covers September 7, 2022 through December 3, 2023, and Schedule C covers land platted on or after December 4, 2023.

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.
Special district fees
No PID, MUD, TIRZ or other special district development fee appears in any article of the codified Appendix A, the Drive-hosted fee schedule or the City website. Appendix A lists a North Texas Groundwater Conservation District pass-through on water usage rates, which is a usage charge, not a development fee. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
City of Denton pass-through amount
The Sec. A11.016 pass-through is tied to the City of Denton wastewater impact fee, which is not captured on this page.
Building permit fees
Building and trade permit fees also appear in Appendix A. 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.
