Guidance, Fees, and Project Documentation for Developers
Developer driven projects often include new or expanded water and wastewater infrastructure or connections within NBU’s service area.
To support responsible growth while balancing the cost of capital improvements, New Braunfels Utilities has established guidelines and fee structures that help ensure infrastructure costs are shared fairly between new development and the New Braunfels community.

Impact fees help fund the infrastructure needed to support new development, so growth pays for the growth it creates. NBU’s Impact Fee Policy aligns with local and state requirements. This section provides the most recent schedules and explanations of those fees.
The 2023 Impact Fee Report explains the study and methodology used to determine the updated fee structure. This document gives context to the numbers so developers can understand how fees are calculated and applied.
Ready to start a developer driven project? NBU provides a suite of reference forms and submittals to help you share required information for initial review and plan approval. These include the project information form, construction plan review application, service area maps, and more — all designed to support clear and complete submissions.
In addition to submittal forms, you’ll find supporting documents like the design criteria checklist and easement requirements. These help guide you through specific elements of planning and documentation for infrastructure work under NBU’s standards.
