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.
Currency caveat
The fees on this page derive from a sheet revised May 11, 2022, which the City still links from its Zoning page. No newer subdivision and zoning fee schedule was found on the City domain. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Lindale before relying on them.
Impact fees
Neither the Subdivision and Zoning Fees sheet nor the City's building fee schedules contains an impact fee line, and the City sitemap has no impact-fee page. No adopted Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee schedule was found on the City domain. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Utility tap fees
The Water Utilities fees page is undated and lists account deposits, reconnect, tampering, and bulk-water charges only, with no tap amounts. The building fee schedules list a utility installation or repair permit fee, which is a permit charge rather than a tap fee. No dated water or sewer tap fee schedule was found on the City domain. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Special district fees
The City sitemap has no public improvement district (PID), municipal utility district (MUD), tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ), or other special-district page, and none of the City fee documents contains a special-district fee. 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.
