Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 3
1 INTRODUCTION & PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This guide is intended to assist in understanding the City of Beaumont's Off-Site Levy program. It
should be read in conjunction with the Off-Site Levy Bylaw and its attached schedule. This guide
explains what an Off-Site Levy (OSL) is, provides a step-by-step outline on considerations and
expectations for how they are assessed and collected in the City of Beaumont, and provides
guidance for detailed program elements. The guide also addresses the applicability of the Off-Site
Levy Bylaw, levy assessment and payment, and cost recovery for Off-Site Levy Infrastructure front-
ended by the City or Applicants.
1.1 WHAT IS AN OFF-SITE LEVY?
Growth via development requires costly expansions to municipal infrastructure systems to ensure
new development is adequately serviced. An OSL is a charge or fee applied to new development
that ensures development pays for its fair share of the capital costs for required new or expanded
servicing infrastructure that it will benefit from. Infrastructure types included in the Off-Site Levy
program are outlined in the Off-Site Levy Bylaw. Off-Site Levies are calculated on a per hectare
basis with rates that vary in different areas of the City.
1.2 THE CITY OF BEAUMONT'S OFF-SITE LEVY BYLAW
The City adopted the current Off-Site Levy Bylaw 1086-25 under the Municipal Government Act in
August 2025. It is an Applicant's responsibility to review the OSL Bylaw, as it sets out critical and
statutory information in addition to this guide. The OSL Bylaw includes a Background Report as an
appendix with key contextual and detailed information about the City's OSL program as a whole,
including applicable infrastructure categories, specific projects, levy calculation methodology,
allocation of benefit and applicable levy rates.
This guide is intended as a reference for the implementation of the Bylaw to all Developers
undertaking applicable subdivision and/or development activities in Beaumont. The City's bylaws
and the Municipal Government Act will prevail if there are any inconsistencies with this guide.
1.3 WHEN IS AN OFF-SITE LEVY REQUIRED?
An Off-Site Levy is required for all new subdivisions or developments that increase the burden on
municipal services and/or infrastructure, with a few noted exceptions.
Potential Exceptions:
-
Subdivision of an agricultural parcel into one or more agricultural parcels where land use
and servicing requirements do not change.
-
Subdivision of a single residential parcel when it is the first non-agricultural parcel
subdivided from an agricultural property, and there are no changes to servicing
requirements.
Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 4
-
Development that constitutes improvements to a property that do not impact the servicing
requirements and/or increase the burden on municipal infrastructure. This may apply to
one or more of the eligible Off-Site Levy infrastructure categories.
-
Lands that have previously paid an Off-Site Levy for a category of infrastructure will not be
assessed an OSL for that same category a second time.
-
Exemptions under section 648 of the Municipal Government Act.
1.4 ANNUAL SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES
In accordance with the Off-Site Levy Bylaw and Section 648 of the Municipal Government Act, the
City is required to provide annual reports that transparently summarize Off-Site Levy collections
and starting and closing reserve balances for each year.
The following is the City's general schedule of activities each year as it relates to the OSL Program:
Timeline
Activity
January 1
Levy rates escalate 2%, in accordance with Schedule B of the Bylaw
February/ March
Reconcile accounts from the prior year, and determine repayment
amounts
April
Annual Report and audited financial statements for the prior year brought
to Council
May
Once annually: Bulk distribution of available repayments from the prior
year to Applicants who have front-ended eligible infrastructure (per
Development Agreements)
August /
September
Forecast remaining collections for current year, estimate potential
amount available for repayments, and include in City budget/reporting
December 31
Collections close for the calendar year
To keep the Off-Site Levy rates current, the City may elect to amend the OSL Bylaw to update the
levy rates on a regular basis to reflect material changes such as refined capital project costs, new
or updated agreements with regional partners that impact benefit allocations, or other similar
context changes. The rates will also be adjusted if the City receives grant funding for a project that
is identified in Schedule C of the Bylaw. Should the City not update the levy rates of the OSL Bylaw
after 2027, then levy rates will escalate 2% annually. Rates will be published on the City's website.

2 OFF-SITE LEVY PROCESS OVERVIEW
This section provides an overview of the Off-Site Levy program and main procedural steps. The
identification, assessment and payment of OSLs is implemented through the City's subdivision
and development permit processes. There are responsibilities for both the City and Applicants
throughout the process. Additional steps or variations may be required depending on the specifics
of the development, but in general, the following steps occur:
-
As a part of pre-application discussion and the initial application, the City determines if
OSLs are applicable in accordance with the Bylaw and MGA.
-
If they are, the details and terms of Off-Site Levy contributions and payments are outlined in
a Development Agreement, including details on amounts owing, credits, payment terms
and repayment schedules, as applicable.
The following diagram illustrates the major stages of the subdivision or development process,
which relate to the OSL process:
This guide does not cover the details of the subdivision and development permit process, and only
speaks to the elements of those processes that pertain directly to OSLs. Please see the City's
website for more detailed information on the subdivision and development permit process.

LEVY STEPS
Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 6
2.1 OFF-SITE LEVY IDENTIFICATION
The following steps are initiated through the review and approval process for a subdivision or
development permit application.
1. An Applicant requests a pre-application meeting with the City (either required or optional
depending on the application type).
-
An initial discussion regarding applicable OSLs may be held as part of a pre-application
meeting, but confirmation of the OSL applicability and amount is provided as part of the
Notice of Decision after the application is submitted and reviewed.
-
This is also when discussions on Off-Site Levy Projects and interests in front-ending
should begin (eligibility, scope, schedule, responsibilities, process, etc.). An Off-Site
Levy Project is a specific infrastructure project identified in the OSL Bylaw that will be
required to support growth. See Section 3.3 for more information.
2. An Applicant submits a subdivision or development permit application.
-
The assigned file planner circulates the subdivision or development permit application,
at which time preliminary comments are provided to the Applicant if an OSL is required.
-
When issuing an approval on a subdivision or development permit application, the City
officially confirms if an OSL will be assessed or not.
-
Whenever possible, OSLs will be assessed as part of the subdivision approval process
and will not be deferred to a subsequent development permit stage.
-
The City may assess OSLs at the development permitting stage when not previously
assessed and collected at the subdivision stage. This may include OSLs for specific
categories that were not previously assessed at the subdivision stage. In this case, the
City will notify the Applicant whether Off-Site Levies are applicable as part of the
development permit and will require that the Applicant enter into a Development
Agreement that provides for the payment of OSLs.
3. If an OSL is required, this will be reflected in the Notice of Decision as a condition of
approval.
4. Other OSL related conditions may be included on the application decision. Additional
actions may be required of the Applicant as part of the Development Agreement, or before
or after subdivision endorsement.
2.2 OFF-SITE LEVY ASSESSMENT & DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
There are two pathways in the development process for the assessment and payment of OSLs:
-
At Subdivision, and;
-
At Development Permit
Further details on the amounts and timing of payment in each scenario are outlined in the following
Section 2.3.
Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 7
Engineering Drawings
Following Subdivision Approval and prior to requesting a Development Agreement, Applicants
must submit engineering drawings for review and approval. More detailed information on the
Engineering Drawing Review Application can be found on the City's website.
Development Agreement Preparation
A Development Agreement is a legal agreement between the City of Beaumont and the Applicant in
relation to an approved subdivision or development permit. The Development Agreement contains
all the terms and conditions applicable to the planned development, including the OSL
assessment, payment terms, and provision of applicable insurance and securities. More detailed
information on the Development Agreement process can be found on the City's website. The
following steps related to OSLs are initiated through the review and approval process for a
Development Agreement application:
1. Submit an 'Application for Development Agreement' and applicable fees to the City.
2. The City confirms the amount the Applicant owes in Off-Site Levies in accordance with the
OSL Bylaw:
-
Off-Site Levies are assessed on a per hectare basis using the rates in the OSL Bylaw.
-
The City will provide the applicant with tentative amounts owing for Off-Site Levies and
securities (as outlined in the City's Financial Security Guidelines). The amounts
provided are subject to change through the Development Agreement review process
and will be considered official once the Development Agreement is executed.
-
Where an approved subdivision or development permit expires and OSLs have not been
paid, the City will re-assess the Off-Site Levies in accordance with the OSL Bylaw and
the rates currently in effect at the time of execution of a new Development Agreement
following subdivision approval or issuance of a development permit.
-
If the Applicant is front-ending OSL infrastructure, then a Front-Ending Agreement will
be included as a schedule of the Development Agreement.
3. Following engineering drawing approval, the Development Agreement is drafted by the City
and once finalized, it is provided to the Applicant.
4. The Applicant will review the draft and provide written confirmation to the City that the
Development Agreement can proceed to the next steps.
Development Agreement Execution
The Development Agreement process is generally outlined as follows:
1. The Applicant will sign and seal two originals prepared by the City and return them to the
City for execution.
2. The Development Agreement is executed by the City and one original is provided to the
Applicant.
3. At the Applicant's expense, the executed Development Agreement must be registered on
the title of all applicable properties under application.
4. For construction to commence, the Applicant must provide the applicable securities,
Certificate of Insurance, and meet any other conditions or requirements outlined in the
Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 8
subdivision or development permit approval and Development Agreement. Additional
information on securities is provided in Section 3.1.
2.3
LEVY PAYMENT
When assessed at subdivision application, the OSL may be paid in up to two instalments if the
applicable security is provided and accepted by the City. When the OSL is owed as a condition of a
subdivision approval, the initial 50% payment of the OSL is due and payable prior to the
endorsement of the subdivision. The Applicant will be required to indicate whether they intend to
provide payment in one or two instalments at the time of the Development Agreement.
When the OSL is assessed as a condition of a development permit approval, the initial payment of
the OSL is due and payable prior to the execution of the Development Agreement.
In all cases, the total levy amount owing will remain as assessed at time of Development
Agreement, even if the levy rate changes over the period installments are due. Any amount of an
Off-Site Levy that is not paid when due is a debt owing to the City and will be subject to the accrual
of interest as determined by the City's policies. In the event of non-payment, securities will be used
to cover the amount owing.
The following steps will be followed for OSL payment:
1. The total amount or the first instalment payment is made by the Applicant.
a. For subdivision applications the initial levy payment of 50% is required before the
subdivision is endorsed.
b. For development permit applications payment of the total levy amount is required
before the Development Agreement is executed.
2. A record of the payment will be made by the City, including the amount owed, and the due
date for the final payment.
3. For subdivision applications, the final levy payment of 50% is required within one year of the
first payment.
4. The City will record the payment and confirm that all required OSLs have been paid.
The flow chart included in Schedule A outlines the Off-Site Levy process as it fits within the overall
subdivision and development permit process.
Once complete, the Development Agreement will include the amount of the Off-Site Levy
owed, when it must be paid, how it will be paid, and what occurs if it is not paid in full by the
required date. Details on any credits and repayment terms for front-ended infrastructure will
be included in a Front-Ending Agreement as a schedule to the Development Agreement.

3 PROGRAM ELEMENTS
This section includes additional information on specific elements of the Off-Site Levy program. This
information should be considered in conjunction with the above. For clarity, "to fund" means to
pay or commit to paying the cost, and "to finance" means to lend money or to pay on behalf of the
funder, with the expectation of being paid back.
3.1 FINANCIAL SECURITIES
Securities for Applicant-Built Infrastructure
The City requires securities for on-site infrastructure constructed by the Applicant (which will
ultimately be turned over to the City as Developer Contributed Assets). If an Applicant is front-
ending and constructing off-site infrastructure in addition to the construction of on-site
infrastructure, the total construction costs for both will be included in the calculation of the
security. See the City's website for the complete Guidelines for Establishing Security in
Development Agreements, including developer categorization.
Securities for Off-Site Levies
If Applicants elect to pay levies in installments as outlined above, they will be required to provide
a financial security or guarantee:
1. Before or with the first Off-Site Levy instalment, a financial security is required to be
provided by the Applicant to the satisfaction of the City for the remaining levy amount
owed. The amount of security will be established in the same manner as securities for
capital infrastructure, and is dependent on the developer categorization.
2. If the Applicant fails to make their second Off-Site Levy payment, the City will claim the
owed amount via the financial security.
3. Despite the payment schedule noted in Section 2.3, the Applicant may elect to pay the
entire Off-Site Levy amount in a single instalment. In that case, no financial security for the
levy is required. The Applicant will be required to advise at the time of Development
Agreement whether they will be paying the OSL in a single instalment or two instalments.
The applicable financial securities are listed below. It is the City's discretion which type of financial
security will be accepted.

Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 10
3.2 GRANTS
The City seeks to apply for project-specific grants where applicable to support funding the cost of
Off-Site Levy Projects. The treatment of any received grants is addressed in the OSL Bylaw. If the
City receives a grant for an Off-Site Levy Project, it offsets the project cost, and the levy rates will be
adjusted accordingly. OSL rates are unchanged through each calendar year, except for when a
project specific grant is received. When levy rates are adjusted, the City will publicly publish the
new rates.
Similarly, if an Applicant applies for and receives project-specific grant funding for any off-site
infrastructure they are front-ending, this must be disclosed to the City.
3.3 OFF-SITE LEVY PROJECTS
Off-Site Levy Projects are the specific infrastructure projects included in the City's OSL program,
which are identified in the City's OSL Bylaw. Each listed project includes a project description,
estimated start/end dates, and costs. The list of OSL Projects is subject to change. Not all OSL
Projects are included in the City's Capital Plan because many OSL Projects fall outside of the City's
Capital Plan horizon.
The City will endeavor to align its capital planning and budgets with required OSL Projects as
development progresses. The City will also continue to engage with developers on opportunities for
shared delivery of off-site infrastructure.
Where an Applicant is seeking to proactively front-end and construct an OSL Project that is not in
the City's Capital Plan, or development will trigger the need for an OSL Project to be constructed,
the proposed off-site infrastructure must first be approved by Council. Applicants are not eligible
for repayment on front-ended off-site infrastructure works that are not OSL Projects.
The City's Capital Plan uses a 5-year window to forecast planned infrastructure projects, including
Off-Site Levy Projects. OSL Projects for the upcoming year are approved by Council in the fall of the
prior year. Budget preparations begin in the first quarter of each year.
Where an Applicant proposes a new development that triggers an Off-Site Levy Project, and where
any of the following conditions apply:
-
the OSL Project has a benefit allocation to existing development, requiring a portion of the
project to be funded by the City outside of the Off-Site Levy fund account;
-
sufficient Off-Site Levy funds are not available in the applicable Off-Site Levy fund account,
requiring the City to front-end the OSL Project through debt financing;
and the required off-site infrastructure is within the 5-year window in both the most recent Capital
Plan and the Off-Site Levy Bylaw,
Changes in the levy rates (up or down) do not change the amount that an Applicant
owes as per an executed Development Agreement.
Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 11
then the OSL Project and any related City funding must first be approved by Council as part of the
Annual Budget, prior to final approval being granted to the development.
The OSL Project may be approved in principle as part of the Development Agreement, subject to
approval by Council and any other required municipal and regulatory approvals.
Off-Site Levy Projects that are not aligned with the sequencing and logical staging of servicing as
outlined in the Off-Site Levy Bylaw are not eligible to be included in the Capital Plan, regardless of
the source of funding or financing.
3.4 FRONT-ENDING
The City and Developers both play a critical role in the buildout of municipal infrastructure systems
to support growth. In some instances, an Applicant may finance and/or build a piece of public
infrastructure to facilitate their development goals. When an Applicant finances off-site
infrastructure that benefits developments beyond their own, this is called 'applicant front-ending'.
If the infrastructure advanced is identified within the Off-Site Levy Bylaw the City may allow
offsetting the front-ended costs against the total Off-Site Levy amount an Applicant may owe for
the same infrastructure category.
City
The City may front-end Off-Site Levy Projects when:
-
The OSL Project is in alignment with planned growth, in alignment with the OSL Bylaw
background report and the growth staging is logical, and;
-
The proposed infrastructure is identified within the City's 5-year Capital Plan, as approved
in the Annual Budget, and;
-
The cost of the infrastructure is feasible to finance considering the City's municipal debt
limit and borrowing costs, in relation to expected debt demand for other municipal needs,
and;
-
The implications to current operations have been considered and are acceptable to the
City.
When borrowing funds to finance an Off-Site Levy Project, the City will clearly delineate borrowed
funds for the City's contribution versus the development community's contribution. City decisions
need to align with the City's policies on capital financing.
Applicants
An Applicant may propose to front-end an Off-Site Levy Project and seek repayment from the
appropriate Off-Site Levy fund as payments are collected over time. Off-Site Levy Projects will be
considered eligible for Applicant front-ending, credits, and repayment given the following:
-
It is included within the 5-year window in both the most recent Capital Plan and the Off-Site
Levy Bylaw, and;
-
The Applicant provides the City with a detailed submission on the project parameters,
including alignment with the Off-Site Levy Bylaw, capital cost estimate, project schedule,
Off-Site Levy Program Guide | Page 12
financing costs, land costs, and operational and maintenance costs, and any additional
information requested by the City.
In-kind contributions from Applicants (e.g. in the form of land) that are considered part of the
allowable cost of an OSL Project per the Bylaw and MGA, are also eligible forms of Applicant front-
ending.
If approved, the City may also provide Off-Site Levy credits to Applicants who front-end an Off-Site
Levy Project given:
-
Applicants request in writing to the City, and receive written approval, and;
-
The request includes a detailed capital cost estimate for the project acceptable to the City.
All determinations regarding eligibility for Off-Site Levy credits are at the City's sole discretion.
Credits will only offset the levy imposed as per the Development Agreement for the same category
of infrastructure that is front-ended. Applicants must provide actual project costs following
construction, and the City reserves the right to adjust credits provided or applied to any remaining
Off-Site Levy payments owing.
3.5 REPAYMENT OR CREDITS FOR APPLICANT FRONT-ENDED INFRASTRUCTURE
If credits exceed the levy imposed per the Development Agreement for the same category of
infrastructure, the Applicant will be eligible to receive repayment of the excess amount only if:
o The infrastructure is included within the 5 year window in both the most recent
Capital Plan and the Off-Site Levy Bylaw, and
o the City has issued a Final Acceptance Certificate for the completed work.
-
Repayment terms will be negotiated and outlined as part of the Development Agreement,
including repayment of any City-owed contributions to Off-Site Levy infrastructure that
benefits existing development.
-
The City will pay Applicants the eligible repayment amounts owing over time, as levies are
collected.
-
Repayment to Applicants is scheduled to occur once per year as part of the Off-Site Levy
Annual Reporting and updating of account balances. Repayment will be determined as
follows for each Off-Site Levy infrastructure type:
o Up to 50% of levy revenue collected in a year may be allocated to the Off-Site Levy
account.
o The remainder of levy revenue collected in a year will generally be paid back to
Applicants that are owed eligible amounts on a first come, first served basis with
consideration of total amounts owing to all Applicants. The City reserves the right to
also allocate any additional portion of the levy revenue to Applicant repayments as
they see fit.
