Weatherford, Texas - City Development Fees
Weatherford | City | Parker County (county seat) | Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA (I-20 corridor west of Fort Worth)
Weatherford is a home-rule city and the seat of Parker County, on the I-20 and US-180 corridor west of Fort Worth in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metroplex. The City is distinctive in operating its own municipal electric utility alongside its water and wastewater systems, so its connection costs include an electric meter set fee in addition to the usual water and sewer charges. Weatherford administers roadway impact fees by service area; zoning, plat, and site-plan application fees; and water, wastewater, and electric utility tap and meter set fees. The figures below are drawn from the City's FY2026 Master Fee Schedule (effective February 10, 2026) and Roadway Impact Fee Collection Rate Ordinance O2025-49 (effective November 18, 2025). As noted in the coverage notes, the City's adopted water and wastewater impact fees are administered but their per-meter dollar amounts are not itemized on this page. Verify current amounts with the City of Weatherford before relying on them.

Impact Fees
Source: City of Weatherford Roadway Impact Fee Collection Rate Ordinance O2025-49. Weatherford levies roadway impact fees by service area and land use under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395. Ordinance O2025-49 (passed November 18, 2025) amended Exhibit B, Schedule 2 of Ordinance O2022-14 to reduce the roadway impact fee collection rate per service unit. The City also levies water and wastewater impact fees under an adopted 2021 Water/Wastewater Impact Fee Study Update.
| Impact Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Roadway impact fee collection rate per service unit - Service Area A (residential / non-residential) | $691 / $461 |
| Roadway impact fee collection rate per service unit - Service Area B (residential / non-residential) | $394 / $262 |
| Roadway impact fee collection rate per service unit - Service Area C (residential / non-residential) | $386 / $258 |
| Water and wastewater impact fees (2021 W/WW Impact Fee Study Update, adopted) | Administered; per-meter amounts pending from the impact-fee study |
A service unit represents the demand of one standard land use; the roadway impact fee assessed on a development is the collection rate above multiplied by the number of service units for its service area and land-use category. Some service areas are assessed no roadway impact fee. Weatherford also levies water and wastewater impact fees under its adopted 2021 Water/Wastewater Impact Fee Study Update, but the per-meter dollar amounts are administered under that study and are not itemized on this page; developers should request the current adopted water and wastewater impact-fee schedule directly from the City. These capital-recovery impact fees are distinct from the utility's own tap and meter set charges below.
Zoning and Plat Application Fees

Water and Sewer Tap Fees
Source: City of Weatherford FY2026 Master Fee Schedule, Utilities section (effective February 10, 2026). Weatherford operates its own municipal water, wastewater, and electric utilities. These one-time tap and meter set charges are the utility's own connection costs and are distinct from the impact fees above.
| Connection | Fee |
|---|---|
| Water Tap - 1" | $4,750.00 |
| Water Tap - 2" | $4,850.00 |
| Wastewater Tap - 4" / 6" | $4,050.00 / $4,200.00 |
| Water Meter Set Fee - 3/4" / 1" | $440.00 / $510.00 |
| Water Meter Set Fee - 1.5" / 2" | $1,480.00 / $1,840.00 |
| Electric Meter Set Fee (municipal electric utility) | $315.00 |
Authority: City of Weatherford Utilities. As a home-rule city that owns its electric utility, Weatherford charges an electric meter set fee of $315.00 as an additional connection cost beyond the water and wastewater tap and meter set fees. Right-of-way construction permits (curb, sidewalk, driveway) run $35 to $75 in the Public Works section. Service deposits are utility deposits, not development fees, and are excluded here.
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, plat, and utility figures on this page derive from the City's FY2026 Master Fee Schedule, effective February 10, 2026, and the roadway impact fee figures derive from Ordinance O2025-49, effective November 18, 2025. Both are among the most recent fee sources in ZoneFee's coverage. The confirmed roadway component establishes the impact-fee family for this jurisdiction; the City's adopted water and wastewater impact fees are administered under a 2021 study, but their per-meter dollar amounts are not itemized on this page and remain pending capture from that study. Confirm current amounts directly with the City before relying on them.
Water and wastewater impact fees - per-meter amounts
Weatherford levies water and wastewater impact fees under its adopted 2021 Water/Wastewater Impact Fee Study Update, but the per-meter dollar amounts are administered under that study and are not itemized on this page. Developers assessing a water or wastewater impact fee should request the current adopted per-meter impact-fee schedule directly from the City.
Special district fees
No special-district (municipal utility district, public improvement district, or tax increment reinvestment zone) fee line item appears in the 29-page FY2026 Master Fee Schedule. In Texas, public improvement district assessments under Local Government Code Chapter 372 and municipal utility district assessments under Water Code Chapter 54 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.
