Front foot benefit charges (or annual water and sewer charge) is imposed by the developer of a community to recover all or a portion of the costs of installing the water & sewer infrastructure at the time of development. These charges are outlined in the Declaration of Water and Sewer Charges recorded in the county land records.

In the past, when the infrastructure was installed by the public utility provider, these charges would have appeared on a homeowner’s county tax bill. More recently, the infrastructure has been installed by private developers and these charges are billed annually directly to the homeowner.

Front foot benefit charges typically run for 20–40 years from the date your home was sold to the initial buyer from the developer. The amount and term of these charges are spelled out in the Declaration of Water and Sewer Charges for each community or lot and recorded in county land records.

No, front foot benefit charges are unrelated to a homeowner’s water & sewer usage bill that is invoiced through the local utility company.

For the initial owner of a subject lot, the front foot benefit charge is generally disclosed and acknowledged as part of the contract or via an additional addendum signed at the time the purchase contract is executed with the builder. For each subsequent sale of the home, the seller must disclose the Annual Water and Sewer Charge to any prospective purchasers as part of the sales contract. Please review your closing records or ask your title company for additional information.
