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
The Town Planning Documents page posts a 2020 Impact Fee Report, which is a study of maximum assessable fees, not an adopted collection rate table. The Application Fee Schedule and the Adopted Codes and Permit Fees page carry no impact fee lines, and a Town site search for "impact fee" returned no rate schedule. No dated Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact fee schedule could be verified from the Town website. This does not mean the Town collects no impact fees. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Utility tap and connection fees
The Utilities - Water page and the New Service Forms page carry no tap or connection fee amounts, and neither fee schedule lists tap lines. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Special district fees
No public improvement district (PID) or municipal utility district (MUD) fee document was found on the Town website. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
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.
