Development Charges (DCs) are the primary way for Ontario municipalities to raise funds for required services and infrastructure improvements resulting from development. The charges ensure that capital costs to service new development are covered. They support roads, fire services, public works buildings and fleet, administration, libraries, and parks and recreation in our community.
Please see the Development Charge Brochure for a summary of our Development Charge Policy.
