The City has recently reviewed the State Statutes and City Codes relative to utilities, and we have
recognized that there are properties in Atlantic Beach that are not connected to the City sanitary sewer
system. The City is obligated to notify property owners when the City central sewerage system is
available, and we have not been able to confirm that any notification has been made to you in the past.
The purpose of this correspondence is to provide notification of the availability of the sewerage system for
your property referenced above, and to provide information about the connection requirements and the
necessary steps to connect to the system.
Florida Law requires connection to City sewer service where it exists. These regulations were enacted
to protect the environment and the public health.
Florida Statutes Section 381.00655 requires connection to the City sewer system within 365 days from
the date of notice of sewer availability. Atlantic Beach City Code Section 22-175 requires the City to
commence billing for sewer service within 90 days from this date of notice, whether or not connection
has been made to the sewer.
The connection to the City sewer system must be performed by a licensed plumber selected and paid
by the property owner. Your septic tank must be properly abandoned after connection to the sewer
system, and your plumber can perform this function and obtain the necessary permits from the Duval
County Health Department and the Atlantic Beach Building Department.
City impact fees, and possibly tap fees, will be assessed at the time the plumbing permit is issued by
the Atlantic Beach Building Department. These fees are calculated by the Building Department based
on several factors regarding your specific property. For this reason, we are unable to provide you with
a specific dollar amount until your application is reviewed. However, the "typical" Sewer Impact Fee
for a single family, residential connection is $1,250. The City will offer a payment plan for those
people who need to finance this expense.
