Manor, Texas - City Development Fees
Manor | City | Travis County | Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown MSA (US-290 / SH-130 corridor east of Austin)
Manor is a fast-growing home-rule city in Travis County, on the US-290 and SH-130 corridor east of Austin in the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown metro. The City operates its own water and wastewater utility and administers water and wastewater impact fees per living unit equivalent (there is no roadway impact fee); zoning, plat, and site plan application fees; and one-time water and wastewater tap fees, all through its consolidated Appendix A Fee Schedule adopted under Ordinance No. 725 (effective November 1, 2023). The figures below are drawn verbatim from that codified Fee Schedule. As noted in the coverage notes, the utilities article of the schedule is served from the City's live online code service rather than a fixed downloadable document, so the currency caveat below applies. Verify current amounts with the City of Manor before relying on them.

Impact Fees
Source: City of Manor Code of Ordinances, Appendix A - Fee Schedule, Article A7 (Sec. A7.009). Manor operates its own water and wastewater utility and levies water and wastewater impact fees per living unit equivalent (LUE) under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395, referencing Ordinance No. 725, sec. 2(Exh. A), effective November 1, 2023. Manor does not administer a roadway impact fee.
| Impact Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Water impact fee (per living unit equivalent) - current tier, lots platted July 5, 2023-present | $2,022.00 per LUE |
| Wastewater impact fee (per living unit equivalent) - current tier, lots platted July 5, 2023-present | $7,193.50 per LUE |
| Roadway impact fee | Not administered by the City of Manor |
A living unit equivalent (LUE) represents the demand of one standard single-family connection; larger meters and higher-demand uses are assessed as multiple LUEs. The impact fee is set on a platted-date tier chart: the amounts above are the current tier for lots platted July 5, 2023 to the present, and older plats fall on earlier, lower tiers descending back to October 9, 1985. These capital-recovery impact fees are distinct from the utility's own tap fees below.
Zoning and Plat Application Fees

Authority: City of Manor Development Services. Zoning fees are waived for the first rezoning after annexation.
Water and Sewer Tap Fees
Source: City of Manor Code of Ordinances, Appendix A - Fee Schedule, Article A7 (Sec. A7.008 Taps). Manor operates its own water and wastewater utility. These one-time tap (connection) fees are the utility's own connection charges and are distinct from the impact fees above.
| Connection | Fee |
|---|---|
| Water tap - residential | $750.00 |
| Water tap - commercial | $750.00 + actual costs |
| Wastewater tap - residential | $750.00 |
| Wastewater tap - commercial | $750.00 + actual costs |
Authority: City of Manor Public Works Utility. Commercial taps are charged at the base amount plus the actual costs of installation. These tap fees are separate from the water and wastewater impact fees assessed per living unit equivalent above.
Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not itemized in full on this page or are not administered by this jurisdiction. 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 zoning and plat fees derive from Articles A1 through A6 of the codified Appendix A Fee Schedule, captured from a fixed, byte-stable published document. The water and wastewater impact fees and the tap fees derive from Article A7 (Utility Service Charges and Fees), which was read from the City's live online code service rather than a fixed downloadable document. The Article A7 amounts above were confirmed present at review under Ordinance No. 725 (effective November 1, 2023), but because the utilities article is served as a live-rendered page that can be re-published without notice, developers should confirm the current Article A7 impact and tap amounts directly with the City before relying on them.
Impact fee tier structure
Manor's water and wastewater impact fees are set on a platted-date tier chart in Appendix A Section A7.009. The $2,022.00 per living unit equivalent water fee and $7,193.50 per living unit equivalent wastewater fee shown above are the current tier, applying to lots platted July 5, 2023 to the present. Lots platted on earlier dates fall on earlier, lower tiers descending back to October 9, 1985. Developers working with an older plat should confirm which tier applies to their property.
Special district fees
No special-district (municipal utility district, public improvement district, or tax increment reinvestment zone) fee line item appears in the codified Appendix A Fee Schedule. The code references reimbursement of the City's professional costs for municipal utility district review at actual cost rather than a fixed fee. In Texas, public improvement district and municipal utility district assessments are levied by the district itself, not through a standardized per-application city fee. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is 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.
