Impact Fees
Source: City of Webster Ordinance 22-12, Exhibit A, "Impact Fee Rate Structure." The City's Public Works Water/Wastewater page lists the schedule as "effective November 15, 2022." Webster levies water and wastewater impact fees under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395, scaled by meter size. PD is a positive displacement meter; COMP is a compound meter.
| Meter Size | Water Impact Fee | Wastewater Impact Fee | Total Impact Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5/8" PD | $2,218 | $5,243 | $7,461 |
| 3/4" PD | $3,683 | $8,703 | $12,385 |
| 1" PD | $5,901 | $13,945 | $19,846 |
| 1.5" PD | $7,387 | $17,458 | $24,845 |
| 2" PD | $23,648 | $55,885 | $79,533 |
| 3" COMP | $125,867 | $111,823 | $237,690 |
| 4" COMP | $196,678 | $174,733 | $371,411 |
| 6" COMP | $393,357 | $349,466 | $742,823 |

| 10" COMP | $904,792 | $803,834 | $1,708,626 |
The wastewater component is the larger share for meters up to 2 inches (at a 5/8-inch meter, $5,243 of the $7,461 total); for compound meters of 3 inches and larger the water component is larger. Impact fees are capital-recovery charges for new service units and are separate from any tap, meter, or permit charge.
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.
Currency caveat
The impact fees on this page derive from Ordinance 22-12 Exhibit A, effective November 15, 2022. Chapter 395 requires the land use assumptions and capital improvements plan behind impact fees to be updated at least every five years, so a revised schedule may be adopted. Confirm current amounts directly with the City of Webster before relying on them.
Zoning and plat fees
Webster takes planning and zoning applications through an online portal and codifies zoning in Chapter 98 of its Code of Ordinances. The City's Planning & Zoning, Platting, and Zoning pages and its sitemap link no dated zoning or plat fee schedule (the Zoning page states that a zoning verification letter carries no charge). Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Utility tap fees
The Water/Wastewater page links water and sewer tap information that is a blank tap request form with no amounts, and the City's 2025 rate ordinance sets monthly water, sewer, and drainage rates only. No dated tap or connection fee schedule was found on the City domain. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Special district fees
The City sitemap has no public improvement district (PID), municipal utility district (MUD), tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ), or other special-district page, and no developer-initiated special-district fee was found on the City domain. Closed-search outcome: 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.
