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
No Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee was found. The codified Appendix A has no impact fee entries, and the City Utility Rates, Zoning Administration and Fees and Licenses pages publish no impact fee schedule, capital improvements plan or land use assumptions. Main-line costs are recovered through the connection charges above. Closed-search outcome: not administered by this jurisdiction.
Special district fees
No PID, TIRZ or MUD developer fee appears in Appendix A. The City Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1 captures tax increment and is not a developer-paid fee. Closed-search outcome: not administered by this jurisdiction.
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.
