01 · Scope

Four categories of jurisdiction-imposed fees

ZoneFee publishes verified data for the four categories of fees that materially affect a development pro forma. No estimated fees, no projections, no third-party aggregator data.

  1. 01

    Development impact fees

    One-time charges for transportation, water, wastewater, parks, and other growth-related infrastructure adopted under state statutory frameworks.

  2. 02

    Zoning application fees

    Rezoning, special-use permits, subdivision review, site plan review, and related land-use application fees adopted by local planning departments.

  3. 03

    Utility tap fees and connection charges

    Water meter tap, wastewater connection, and electric service connection fees for new construction, set by utility authorities or city utility departments.

  4. 04

    Proffers and exactions

    Voluntary cash or in-kind contributions proffered during rezoning or special-use review, used primarily in Virginia under state proffer statutes.

03 · How ZoneFee verifies

How fee data is verified

Every fee record on ZoneFee clears the same three checks before publication. The same standard applies to every jurisdiction, every fee category, and every entry in the dataset.

01 / Source

Official .gov only

Every fee derives from a jurisdiction's live .gov fee schedule, an adopted ordinance, or an official meeting record. Industry summaries, third-party aggregators, and estimates are excluded.

02 / Record

Source URL captured

Each published fee carries a direct link to the official document, the named issuing authority, and the stated effective date. The reader can verify any number on ZoneFee against its primary source in one click.

03 / Freshness

Last-verified date per record

Every fee record displays the date ZoneFee last reviewed it against the source. Records older than 12 months are surfaced with a stale indicator until re-verified.

Read the full methodology. The methodology page describes ZoneFee's source hierarchy, what "confirmed" means, what is excluded, and how the freshness review cycle operates. See full methodology
04 · Audience

Audience and intended use

ZoneFee is built for professionals who need to confirm fee exposure before a land acquisition, pro forma, or entitlement decision.

The intended audience includes real estate developers, land acquisition teams, underwriting analysts, investors, and land-use attorneys. The data is structured for due-diligence research rather than consumer disclosure or policy commentary.

ZoneFee does not publish estimated fees, financial projections, legal advice, or tax advice. For binding fee amounts, always verify directly with the jurisdiction. Fee data may change between review cycles; the source URL on each record links to the live schedule.

05 · Expansion

Coverage requests

ZoneFee adds new jurisdictions on request. The expansion roadmap is driven by user demand and by the same source-availability criteria documented in the methodology.

Coverage requests are accepted by email through the contact page. Submissions are reviewed against the published source-hierarchy standard before any record is added or amended. Source corrections for live pages can also be sent via the corrections page.
