Not included: water service lateral and tap (customer-installed; Mesa quotes meter sets that involve a lateral), fire sprinkler and other trade extras, sales tax. Mesa prints no ICC valuation table, so the building permit uses the ICC Building Valuation Data R-3 V-B value as printed in another city's guide (labelled computed). Capacity fee amounts come from the consultant report the city's page says Council adopted on Dec 1 2025 (ordinance text not read); 3/4-inch meters pay 100% from July 1 2026. Mesa has no water, wastewater, parks, library or stormwater impact fees; only the public safety fee remains.
