Pasco County, FL Development Impact Fees (2026)

Pasco County, FL levies residential development fees through (1) a multimodal MOBILITY fee (transportation, formerly the road impact fee), (2) several IMPACT fees collected by the County (parks/recreation, library, fire combat & rescue, and school — the school fee is levied on behalf of the District School Board), and (3) WATER & WASTEWATER connection fees by Pasco County Utilities.

Mobility fee

The County is divided into three Assessment Districts — A=Urban, B=Suburban, C=Rural — each with its own schedule, and single-family fees are tiered by home size (0-1,500 sf; 1,501-2,499 sf; 2,500+ sf). The schedule charges the "Net Fee" (after county-funded incentives/subsidies). The 2025 Mobility Fee Schedule (PDD21-0499, Effective 1/1/2022, with annual columns through 2025) is the operative schedule. The SUBURBAN (District B), 1,501-2,499 sf single-family detached row ($9,646 net) is the PRIMARY representative for a ~2,000 sf home; the Urban ($6,567) and Rural ($11,030) equivalents and the 2,500+ sf tier are excludeFromTotal variants. A separate $136.00 per-unit mobility ADMINISTRATION fee is charged on every residential building permit (additive; included). SCHOOL IMPACT FEE (Ord. 24-37): tiered by date — for permits on/after 1/1/2026 (current): Single-Family Detached $10,328; Multiple Family $5,636.50; Mobile Home $5,795.50. Note: the 2026 (and 2025/2027/2028) school schedules have only three residential categories — Single-Family Detached, Mobile Home, and Multiple Family. The "Single-Family Attached" category that existed in the pre-2025 schedule ($3,353) was ELIMINATED in the current schedules. PARKS & RECREATION (Ord. 23-23): $3,450.15 per dwelling unit for permits submitted after 12/31/2023 (single flat per-DU rate; no SF/MF split in the post-2023 schedule). FIRE COMBAT & RESCUE (Ord. 25-28, 2024 Stantec study): two additive per-DU components for permits after 7/1/2025 — Fire Combat $416.00 + Rescue Service $258.00 = $674.00 per dwelling unit (flat per unit, same for SF and MF). WATER & WASTEWATER CONNECTION FEES (Pasco County Utilities): per single-family 1.0 ERU (5/8" and 3/4" meter), FY26 (10/1/2025-9/30/2026): Water Connection Fee $1,719.00; Wastewater Connection Fee $3,250.00; a "Water with Reclaimed" alternative of $1,290.00 (mutually exclusive with base water fee; excluded). Connection fees index 3.75% in FY26, then 4.75%/yr FY27-29. Non-residential pays the 1.0 ERU fee x meter-size ERU multiplier (1.0 for 5/8"-3/4"; 2.5 for 1"; 5 for 1.5"; 8 for 2"; up to 80 for 8"). CATEGORIES THAT DO NOT EXIST for residential development in Pasco County: NO law-enforcement/police impact fee; NO drainage/stormwater impact fee; NO general/capital, open-space, or affordable-housing impact fee; NO standalone road/transportation impact fee separate from the mobility fee.

confirmed 16 of 19 rows; dropped 2 (Library SFD $144.58 and Library MF $96.58 — the cited source [sourceIndex 2, the LDC 1302.2 Mobility Fees PDF] is the WRONG document and does NOT contain the quoted library text; grep for "library"/"libraries"/"144.58"/"96.58" returned zero hits, the library fee lives in LDC 1302.5, and the figures could not be independently confirmed via Municode [403] or web search — researcher had already flagged these medium-confidence with an expired URL). 1 row corrected: the row labeled "School Impact Fee - Single Family Attached (on/after 1/1/2026) $5,795.50" is misattributed — $5,795.50 is the MOBILE HOME total in the 2026 school schedule, NOT single-family attached (the SF-attached category was removed after 2024); reclassified landUse single_family_attached -> mobile_home, corrected the fabricated sourceQuote, and set excludeFromTotal=true since mobile home is not the SFD representative.

Verification source-access notes

The official Pasco County Utilities rates page (sourceIndex 6) is hard-blocked (HTTP 403) to both curl and the Chrome browser (aggressive bot/geo blocking), so the exact FY26 quote could not be re-opened verbatim. However the three connection-fee figures were independently CORROBORATED: (a) the authoritative FY24 Pasco County Utilities Rates/Fees/Charges PDF (revize CDN) shows the identical table structure "Water and Wastewater Connection Fees (4-Year Phasing per Single Family 1.0 ERU)" with the same three columns (Water / Water with Reclaimed / Wastewater) and the same meter ERU multipliers, ending at FY25 (10/1/2024-9/30/2025) values of Water $1,657, Reclaimed $1,243, Wastewater $3,133; (b) multiple secondary sources confirm the new four-year schedule indexes 3.75% in FY26; (c) applying 3.75% to the FY25 values yields $1,719, $1,290, and $3,250 respectively — an exact match to the researcher's FY26 figures. The three connection-fee rows (water, reclaimed-water, wastewater) were therefore KEPT but DOWNGRADED from high to medium confidence because the exact-quote source could not be reopened. All MOBILITY rows were verified directly against the 2025 Suburban/Urban/Rural Standard schedules in the PDD21-0499 PDF (Net Fee column). All SCHOOL, PARKS, FIRE, and the MOBILITY ADMIN fee were verified verbatim against the adopted ordinance PDFs. excludeFromTotal corrections: added excludeFromTotal=true to the reclassified mobile-home school row (formerly mislabeled SF-attached); all other excludeFromTotal flags (Urban/Rural/2,500+ mobility variants, reclaimed-water alternative) were already correct. REPRESENTATIVE ~2,000 sf SFD TOTAL (Suburban district, includeable rows only): Mobility $9,646 + Mobility admin $136 + School SFD $10,328 + Parks $3,450.15 + Fire Combat $416 + Rescue $258 + Water connection $1,719 + Wastewater connection $3,250 = $29,203.15 (the prior researcher figure of ~$29,348 included the now-dropped $144.58 library fee). Library fees were dropped pending an accessible LDC 1302.5 source.
