AN ORDINANCE AMENDING IDENTIFIED PROVISIONS OF THE
CODE OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH (2015), AS AMENDED, TO
REFLECT CHANGES IN THE FEES STATED IN THOSE CODE
SECTIONS; ADDING NEW FEES AND CHANGING CERTAIN FEES AND
RATIFYING AND CONTINUING PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED
UNCODIFIED FEES; ALLOWING FOR CHANGES IN CERTAIN FEES
DUE TO MARKET CONDITIONS; PROVIDING FOR
DOCUMENTATION OF AMBULANCE -RELATED FEES SUBJECT TO
ADJUSTMENT BASED ON FEDERAL DIRECTIVES; DESIGNATING
OTHER DEPARTMENTS ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT; PROVIDING THAT THIS
ORDINANCE SHALL BE CUMULATIVE; PROVIDING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, certain City functions are provided on a fee -for -service basis, with such fees
designed to recover some or all of the costs incurred by the City to provide such services;
WHEREAS, adoption and revision of the utility rates for water and wastewater and for
municipal drainage (stormwater) are subject to specific processes and are therefore handled by
separate action in order to ensure compliance with those utility -rate -setting processes, but certain
other non -rate miscellaneous fees are simply set by Council;
WHEREAS, in limited instances the fees for other non -utility City services are reflected
in codified ordinances that can be found in the Code of the City of Fort Worth (2015), as amended;
WHEREAS, for a number of other fee -based services, the City Code simply refers to fees
being set by City Council, which action may not take the form of an ordinance;
WHEREAS, the operations of the City's Public Events Department involve booking
business for conventions and other gatherings at the Fort Worth Convention Center months or
sometimes years in advance, necessitating the adoption of fees for such facilities beyond just the
immediately coming year;
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the City Council will formally authorize (i) a `lift assist'
charge to recover a portion of the costs for non -emergency, non -medical services provided by the
City's emergency medical services (EMS) personnel at institutional care facilities, and (ii) on -site
sewer facility rates, and it is advisable to set the levels for those fees, subject to and conditioned
on adoption of the City Code amendment, with imposition of such fees noted herein as being
contingent on amendment of the City Code;
WHEREAS, certain EMS fees may legally only be increased by an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) 10% of the current rates or (ii) a percentage inflation factor determined by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) with such changes to take effect January 1, 2027; and
Ordinance No. 26-28781 Page 1 of 73
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the City Council approve EMS fees at the rates
reflected herein with the caveat that fees designated with an asterisk may be lowered based on
CMS's determination and with a mechanism provided to memorialize the final rates after CMS
issues its direction; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to improve transparency and facilitate locating the various
uncodified fees, staff recommends adopting a single ordinance as part of the annual budget to
reflect changes to codified fees other than utility rates for water and stormwater and changes to
non -codified fees and to ratify all previously established fees that will continue to be charged for
the coming fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, the City
Council deems it appropriate to adopt this instrument to amend certain non -utility fee schedules in
the City Code, to update the non -codified fee schedule as reflected herein, and to ratify all
previously enacted uncodified fees.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS THAT:
SECTION 1.
The following sections of the City Code of the City of Fort Worth are hereby amended in
accordance with the attached Exhibit "A" to reflect changes in certain fees and associated
language:
Chapter 2, Article XII, Section 2-321, "Development Application Fees";
Chapter 7, Article II, Section 119, "Fee Tables";
Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-841.1, "Residential Collections Fees", -
Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-841.2, "Commercial Garbage
Collection Fees";
Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-844, "Non City Waste Landfill
Environmental Fee";
Chapter 12.5, Article IX, Division 2, Section 12.5-865, "Registration";
Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-2, "Amendments," Section H104, "Fees for Inspections
and Operational Permits";
Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-2, "Amendments," Section H105, "Fees for False
Alarms";
Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-2, "Amendments," Section 1106, Appendix I, Section
1102.3;
Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-2, "Amendments," Section 1106, Appendix I, Table
1102.1;
Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-2, "Amendments," Appendix J, Section J401;
Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-2, "Amendments," Appendix K, Table K101.1;
Chapter 29, Article V, Division 2, Section 5.01, "Registration of Off -Premises Signs";
Ordinance No. 26-28781 Page 2 of 73
Chapter 30, Article I, Division 2, Section 30-14, "Painting House Numbers on Curbs or
Driveways — License and Bond Required; License Fee; Permission from Property
Owners";
Chapter 30, Article 11, Section 30-32, "License; Bond; Permit";
Chapter 35, Article III, Division 1, Section 35-57.4, "Water Tap Connections"; and
Chapter 35, Article III, Division 1, Section 35-57.4, "Sewer Tap Connections"
SECTION 2.
With the exception of Water and Wastewater utility rates charged by the Water Department
and Municipal Drainage utility rates charged by the Stormwater Division of the Transportation
and Public Works Department, all fees for the Aviation, Development Services, Environmental
Services, Financial Management Services, Fire, Park and Recreation, Property Management,
Public Events, Transportation and Public Works, and Water Departments beginning and effective
October 1, 2026 shall be those previously authorized by City Council action and are ratified and
shall continue to be in effect by the adoption of this Ordinance, save and except those fees where
a change is being implemented as detailed on Exhibit "B" to this Ordinance, including changes to
pre-existing fees and enactment of new fees, and all such fees and changes are hereby approved.
SECTION 3.
The Aviation, Development Services, Environmental Services, Financial Management
Services, Fire, Park and Recreation, Property Management, Public Events, Transportation and
Public Works, and Water Departments operate facilities and programs that compete with public
and private sector facilities for business and periodically need to make adjustments in response to
market demands and for promotional and educational purposes. Approval of this Ordinance
authorizes the Directors of the departments identified above (or their designees) to adjust or waive
fees in response to market demands, including, but not limited to, seasonal, weather -related, and
facility condition -driven factors; customer service resolutions; memberships; advertising
opportunities; special marketing promotions; and educational purposes. In addition, to the extent
any City -owned facility is managed or operated by a non-profit support group, the Director of the
department having responsibility for such facility may exercise the discretion to adjust fees by
acting in concert with such non-profit organization. The maximum amount of fees will continue
to be capped at those amounts previously approved by the City Council.
SECTION 4.
Certain fees for providing emergency medical services (EMS) established in Exhibit B are
subject to limitation by the ambulance inflation factor (AIF) prescribed by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and could be reduced. Following CMS's pronouncement of AIF,
staff in the Fire Department is directed to complete a notice to Council in substantially the form
laid out in Exhibit C to memorialize the final fees as modified by CMS's AIF and to file a copy
thereof with the Fort Worth City Secretary as an addendum to this Ordinance.
Ordinance No. 26-28781 Page 3 of 73
SECTION 5.
Approval of this Ordinance will also officially designate other personnel and departments
as acting on behalf of the Financial Management Services (FMS) Department in collecting fees
and issuing licenses, as applicable. The City Charter charges the City's Finance Department "with
the administration of the financial affairs of the city, including the keeping and supervision of all
accounts and the issuance of licenses and the collection of license fees." As the City has grown
over the years, responsibilities for issuing licenses and collecting fees became decentralized, with
various departments and personnel being assigned as reflected in the City's revenue manual. In
connection with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2016 budget, the City Council approved M&C G-
18545 (September 15, 2015), which formally designated the assigned personnel and departments
to act on behalf of FMS in collecting fees and issuing licenses, where applicable. Adoption of this
Ordinance continues that designation through Fiscal Year 2027.
SECTION 6.
This Ordinance shall be cumulative of all provisions of ordinances and of the Code of the
City of Fort Worth, Texas (2015), as amended, except where the provisions of this ordinance are
in direct conflict with the provisions of such ordinances and such Code, in which event conflicting
provisions of such ordinances and such Code are hereby repealed.
SECTION 7.
It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that the sections, paragraphs,
sentences, clauses and phrases of this Ordinance are severable, and, if any phrase, clause, sentence,
paragraph or section of this ordinance shall be declared unconstitutional by the valid judgment or
decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the
remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections of this ordinance, since the same
would have been enacted by the City Council without the incorporation in this ordinance of any
such unconstitutional phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section.
SECTION 8.
All rights and remedies of the City of Fort Worth, Texas, are expressly saved as to any and
all violations of any previously existing ordinances which have accrued at the time of the effective
date of this Ordinance, and, as to such accrued violations and all pending litigation, both civil and
criminal, whether pending in court or not, under such ordinances, same shall not be affected by
this ordinance but may be prosecuted until final disposition by the courts.
Ordinance No. 26-28781 Page 4 of 73
SECTION 9.
This Ordinance shall take effect on October 1, 2026 and after publication as required by
law, if necessary, with certain fees having later effective dates or being subject to certain
preconditions as indicated herein.
