What are Development Charges?
Development charges (DC), as set out in the Development Charges Act 1997, are a tool that allows municipalities to finance the capital costs associated with the need for increases in municipal service made necessary by new development. Any development charges collected by the municipality must be used towards the services outlined in the Development Charges By-law.
