Municipal Development Charges
The Development Charges Act allows for Municipalities to impose development charges on development and redevelopment to pay for development-related capital costs. The study and by-law were prepared in compliance with the Development Charges Act. The by-law to impose development charges was approved by Council on February 15, 2023. The approved rates are indexed annually on the anniversary date of the by-law. Please reference the Development Charges Pamphlet for the rates currently in effect.
Please note that Bill 185 received Royal Assent on June 6, 2024. Therefore with immediate effect the rates are updated to remove the mandatory phase in provision. The rates currently in effect are included in the Development Charges Pamphlet, below.
