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
No sewer or wastewater tap fee was captured from the Lucas fee schedule articles reviewed. Much of Lucas is low-density, and the wastewater article was not reviewed for connection charges. Confirm any sewer connection cost with the City of Lucas.
Water service area
Parts of Lucas may be served by another water provider. The water impact and installation fees above are City of Lucas fees; confirm the serving utility for a specific site.
Special district fees
No PID, MUD or TIRZ assessment or developer fee was found in the fee schedule articles reviewed, the code host list of new laws adopted May to October 2026, or the Development Services page. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Building permit fees
Building, health and solid waste fees also appear in Appendix C. They 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.
