Development Fees and Charges

Development charges are fees collected from developers at the time a building permit is issued. The fees help pay for the cost of infrastructure required to provide municipal services to new development, such as roads, water and sewer and other infrastructure.

You may be required to pay development charges for land development or redevelopment projects if you are:

• Constructing a new building
• Making an addition or alteration to an existing building that increases the number of dwelling units or the non-residential gross floor area
• Redeveloping a property or making interior alterations that result in a change of use to all or part of the building
