Mexia, Texas - City Development Fees
City of Mexia | Limestone County | Central Texas | US-84 and SH-14 east of Waco
Mexia is a city in Limestone County on US-84 and SH-14, east of Waco in Central Texas. The City posts one fee document on its Master Fee Schedule page, the Permit Fee Schedule (Effective May 1, 2025), which sets its re-zoning, variance and plat application fees. Impact fees are set case by case when the city council approves a development, and no citywide tap fee schedule is published, so this page covers land use and plat fees only. Verify current amounts with the City of Mexia before relying on them.

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.
Impact fees
Mexia Code Sec. 13.02.015 addresses water and sewer impact fees and states that the amount and duration of the impact fees will be determined at the time the development is approved by the city council. No impact fee schedule is published, and the Permit Fee Schedule has no impact fee line. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Utility tap fees
The Permit Fee Schedule has no water or sewer tap line. Code Sec. 13.02.010 carries only a special tap fee table for one waterline extension area, which is an area-specific charge rather than a citywide tap fee, and the online code is shown current only through an ordinance adopted December 21, 2021. Those amounts are not shown here. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Special district fees
Neither the Permit Fee Schedule nor Code Article 13.02 has a PID, MUD or TIRZ fee line. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Building permit fees
Building and trade permit fees also appear in the Permit Fee Schedule. 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.
