Title
Resolution with the caption reading: A resolution of the City of Pflugerville, Texas, setting a public hearing to discuss and review the City's Water and Wastewater Impact Fees as provided for in Chapter 152, Subchapter A of the City's Code of Ordinances.
Summary
The proposed public hearing is a requirement to amend Chapter 152, Subchapter A, Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Ordinance for the proposed 2026 Update. This update is intended to update the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan, and associated impact fee schedule based on the most recent analysis of projected growth, capacity needs, and updated construction cost estimates.
The City has contracted with Garver and Kimley Horn to conduct an update to the Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Ordinance. These fees are governed by the Local Government Code, Section 395. This section of the code limits an increase to these fees to every three years. The City has also contracted with Pattillo Brown & Hill to conduct an independent financial audit of the fund to comply with the new requirements of Section 395.059. The updated plan and the audit report will be presented at this public hearing.
The Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Study established a maximum rate that could be collected per service area and would be applicable to new development. The maximum assessable fee being proposed with the 2026 Update is as follows:
Water - $7,198 (current fee $14,713)
Wastewater Area 1 - $1,800 (current fee $1,316)
Wastewater Area 2 - $16,565 (current fee $15,136)
In order to continue moving forward with modifications to the ordinance, this resolution is the first step in making modifications to the ordinance which sets a public hearing date for July 28, 2026. Texas Local Government Coder Chapter 395 requires the City Council adopt a resolution to set a public hearing date to consider changes to the impact fee ordinance. Once the public hearing date is set and prior to thirty days before the date set for the hearing, notice of the hearing shall be published in the newspaper and information for period of projections and a description of the impact fees shall be made available to the public.
This update was presented to the Advisory Committee (CIAC) on May 4, 2026.
