Coverage & caveats

All fees verified against the OFFICIAL Collier County "Residential Impact Fees Effective February 1, 2026" consolidated schedule (PDF on collier.gov). The PDF is Akamai-blocked to curl/WebFetch (HTTP 403/Access Denied), so it was independently downloaded inside an authenticated Chrome browser session (fetch returned HTTP 200, content-type application/pdf, 136,625 bytes, header %PDF-1.7) and its text extracted via PDF.js. The official "Single Family Detached <4000 Sq. Ft. Living" row reads, in column order EMS / GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS / JAIL / LAW ENFORCEMENT / LIBRARIES / COMMUNITY PARKS / ROADS / REGIONAL PARKS / SCHOOLS / SUBTOTAL / WATER / SEWER / TOTAL WITHOUT FIRE: 142.07 / 934.34 / 499.19 / 411.74 / 307.85 / 933.83 / 8,090.00 / 2,249.93 / 8,789.54 / 22,358.49 / 5,441.00 / 4,847.00 / 32,646.49. Every researcher-cited amount reproduced exactly. NOTE on the JMI/FSU backgrounder (sourceIndex 3): it carries the 12/01/2024 schedule, which differs from the current Feb 1, 2026 "Phase 1" schedule on several lines (Law Enforcement 587 vs 411.74, Libraries 336 vs 307.85, Regional Parks 2,694 vs 2,249.93, Water 4,411 vs 5,441, Sewer 4,081 vs 4,847). These are NOT "within rounding" of each other; the researcher's claim of a within-rounding cross-check is incorrect. The current official Feb 1, 2026 PDF is the controlling source and all retained amounts derive from it, so the rows still verify. The JMI doc is retained only as background context, not as the amount source. PRIMARY land use = Single Family Detached <4000 sq.ft. living area (representative ~2,000-2,500 sq ft; Collier tiers SFD at the <4000 vs 4000+ break). 4000+ tier and all multifamily/mobile-home rows are context rows with excludeFromTotal=true. CATEGORIES that exist (per dwelling unit unless noted): Roads/Transportation, EMS, Law Enforcement (police), Jail, Government Buildings (general/capital), Library, Community Parks, Regional Parks, Schools (collected by the county on the consolidated schedule), Water impact fee, Sewer/Wastewater impact fee, and Fire (by independent fire district). EMS is reclassified from category "fire" to "public_safety" (EMS is a separate emergency-services capital fee, not a fire-district fee). WATER/SEWER: tiered by living space / number of toilets. For an individually-metered single-family home of 1,501+ sq ft, ERC factor = 1.0 -> WATER $5,441 and SEWER $4,847 (primary rows, confirmed). 0-750 (ERC 0.33: $1,795/$1,599) and 751-1,500 (ERC 0.67: $3,644/$3,247) tiers are mutually-exclusive variants (excludeFromTotal). A SEPARATE Meter & Cross-Connection Control Device Installation charge applies on top: 3/4" meter With Service Line = $1,839 (additive, confirmed); Without Service Line (Drop-In/Hang) 3/4" = $778 and larger meter sizes are excluded variants. FIRE: Levied by INDEPENDENT fire districts, NOT the county. Representative primary = North Collier Fire $476/unit (<4,000 sq ft; $833 for 4,000+; $357 multi-family apt/condo). Greater Naples Fire $0.433/sq ft (the PDF shows $0.433; JMI rounded to $0.43), Immokalee $0.94/sq ft, Ochopee $0.60/sq ft are per-sq-ft district-specific alternatives (not modeled as rows here). CAVEATS: (1) No standalone drainage/stormwater, open-space, affordable-housing, or general "mitigation" impact fee exists on the residential schedule. (2) Per the PDF footnotes: City of Naples & City of Marco Island do NOT assess county Community Parks, Law Enforcement, Fire, Water, Sewer; City of Everglades does NOT assess county Community Parks, Road, Water, Sewer. Primary rows assume UNINCORPORATED Collier County. (3) Ave Maria MPC has different Community/Regional Parks & Fire rates (not modeled). (4) Schedule is "Phase 1" of a multi-phase change; a later schedule may take effect May 1, 2026, but the Feb 1, 2026 schedule is the adopted/effective one as of verification. VERIFY: confirmed 33 of 33 rows against the live official Feb 1, 2026 PDF (every amount and sourceQuote reproduced exactly in the source); dropped 0. excludeFromTotal corrections: none required - all mutually-exclusive variants (water/sewer 0-750 & 751-1500 tiers, the no-service-line meter, SFD 4000+ tier, all multifamily rows, the mobile-home road proxy) were already correctly flagged excludeFromTotal=true; representative SFD per-unit set (impact-fee subtotal 22,358.49 + water 5,441 + sewer 4,847 = 32,646.49 "TOTAL PER UNIT WITHOUT FIRE", confirmed on the PDF line; + North Collier Fire 476 + 3/4" meter-with-service-line 1,839) is internally consistent and not double-counting. Category fix: EMS rows moved from "fire" to "public_safety". landUse fix: the "Mobile Home (Not in Mobile Home Park)" road row relabeled from "adu" to "mobile_home" to match the actual PDF line (Collier publishes no ADU line); kept excludeFromTotal and confidence "medium" as a detached-unit proxy. The JMI backgrounder's "within rounding" cross-check claim was found inaccurate and is downgraded to background-only.

Per-unit total (Single Family Detached <4000 sq ft, unincorporated Collier, North Collier Fire district), all confirmed on the official Feb 1, 2026 PDF: impact-fee SUBTOTAL without fire/water/sewer = $22,358.49; with county water ($5,441) + sewer ($4,847) = $32,646.49 (the schedule's "TOTAL PER UNIT WITHOUT FIRE"); plus North Collier Fire $476 + 3/4" meter-with-service-line install $1,839 = ~$34,961 all-in. Fire and meter-install are additive to the county "total without fire". SFD 4000+ tier (excluded): subtotal $25,157.41, total w/o fire $35,445.41.
