Winter Haven ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Winter Haven appears to charge city impact fees on new residential construction, and ADUs are also subject to Polk County impact fees where county rules apply. The clearest official source found is the city’s building-permits page for permit processing, but the exact city fee schedule was not directly available in the search results, so several fee items require verification.

Fee overview
The exact official Winter Haven fee schedule was not present in the search results, so some fee data is based on news reporting rather than a city ordinance or fee table.
Polk County fee information in the search results comes from a secondary blog summary, not a direct county fee schedule, so it should not be treated as definitive.
Utility connection, school, plan-check, and technology fees were not clearly documented in the available official sources and may need direct verification with the city, county, school district, and utilities.
The ADU may be subject to both Winter Haven city fees and Polk County fees depending on jurisdictional responsibility and utility connections.
The city’s proposed or reported impact fee figures may have changed since the news coverage, so the official adopted ordinance should be checked before use.
No California ADU baseline applies because Winter Haven is in Florida.
