Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were not closed via confirmed standalone fee amounts on this page. They are disclosed here rather than estimated or omitted silently.
Utility Tap / Connection Fees
Prosper's complete codified Master Fee Schedule (Appendix A, Ordinance 2025-47, effective October 1, 2025) enumerates every development-related fee section and contains no separate water or wastewater tap or connection fee section. The developer-side water and wastewater capital recovery cost is the Water and Wastewater Impact Fee by meter size confirmed above. The Municipal Drainage Utility System Fee (Section XII) is an ongoing monthly utility charge, not a one-time development tap fee, and is out of ZoneFee's developer-fee scope. Six official surfaces were probed (the Fee Schedules page, the Development Related Fees and Engineering Fee Schedule documents, the Utility Applications and Forms page, the codified Master Fee Schedule, and the in-site search). Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
Special District Fees (PID)
Prosper uses Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) to finance master-planned-community infrastructure, but PID assessments are per-district service-and-assessment plans (property-specific, bond-repayment assessments fixed at district creation), not a standing town-wide development fee, and are not enumerated in the codified Master Fee Schedule. This is consistent with the Frisco precedent, where PIDs are treated as separate from development impact fees. Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
Proffers
Texas jurisdictions do not use Virginia-style cash proffers (Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303 has no Texas counterpart). The $500 development-agreement line in Ordinance 2025-47 Section V is a processing fee, not a proffer. Developer-side contributions in Prosper occur through the impact fees, zoning, development, platting, and building permit fees captured above. Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
