By-Laws

Currently, the Region has three Development Charges By-Laws that govern development charge collections in the Region. These By-laws set out the applicable services for residential development based on the number and type of dwelling units and non-residential development based on total floor area. Development charge rates are indexed annually (April 1) and are subject to change when an existing Development Charges By-law is amended or repealed by Council, or a new Development Charges By-law is passed by Council.
