San Angelo, Texas - City Development Fees
San Angelo | City | Tom Green County | San Angelo, TX MSA
San Angelo is the seat of Tom Green County in the West Texas Concho Valley, a standalone metro of roughly 100,000 residents. The City of San Angelo Planning & Development Services and Water Utilities departments administer zoning, planned development, conditional use, platting, and miscellaneous planning application fees, along with water tap connection and meter fees, all published in the City's codified Appendix A Fee Schedule (Code of Ordinances). San Angelo does not administer a Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact-fee program; as a West Texas slow-growth metro it funds infrastructure through utility rates and general bonds rather than impact fees.

Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were not closed via confirmed standalone fee amounts on this page. They are disclosed here rather than estimated or omitted silently.
Impact Fees (TLGC Chapter 395)
San Angelo does not administer a Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 impact-fee program. The comprehensive codified Appendix A Fee Schedule (all departments) contains zero impact-fee or capital-recovery-fee line items, and the City's 501-URL sitemap has no impact-fee page. This is consistent with West Texas slow-growth metros that fund infrastructure through utility rates and general bonds. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is not administered by this jurisdiction.
Special District Fees (PID / MUD)
No City-administered special-district (public improvement district or municipal utility district) developer application fee surfaced on the comprehensive codified Appendix A Fee Schedule or in the City sitemap. Consistent with Texas peer precedent, special-district obligations where they exist are tax-roll assessments rather than standing City developer fees. Closed-search outcome: this fee family is not administered by this jurisdiction.
Proffers
Texas jurisdictions do not use Virginia-style cash proffers (Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303 has no Texas counterpart). Developer-side contributions in San Angelo occur through the zoning, platting, and water tap and meter fees captured above. Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
