any other evidence that the current level of collection services provided to the

property to which the designated employee declines to provide base collection services

Classification of residential, multi-unit and commercial properties
8(1) If a portion of a property falls under the definition of a residential property or multi-unit
property, and another portion of the same property falls under the definition of a commercial
property, then the portion of the property that is classed as either a residential property or
multi-unit property is subject to mandatory fees imposed in accordance with section 7, while
the portion that is classed as a commercial property is subject to section 6.
8(2) For greater certainty, the ownership of a property or of dwelling units in a residential
property or a multi-unit property does not affect the number of dwelling units associated with
that property. In particular, the fact that dwelling units are owned pursuant to The
Condominium Act, C.C.S.M. c. C170 does not change their status as dwelling units within a
property for the purposes of this By-law.
Determination of classification and number of dwelling units
9(1) Where the classification of a property, or the number of dwelling units associated with
a property, cannot be determined in accordance with another provision of this By-law, the
designated employee shall determine the classification of the building or the number of
dwelling units on the property, as the case may be.
9(2) In determining the classification of a property, or the number of dwelling units associated
with a property, the designated employee may use any information they consider relevant,
including one or more of the following:
(a)
inspections and observations by City employees;
(b)
the classification of a property by the City, or number of dwelling units
attributed to a property by the City, for the purposes of assessment and
taxation;
(c)
the information provided on an occupancy permit issued under the Winnipeg
Building By-law;
By-law No. 30/2025
- 9 -
(d)
the permitted uses for a property under the zoning by-law applicable to it.
9(3) The designated employee shall reclassify a property, or redetermine the number of
dwelling units associated with the property, where there is a change in the property or the
usage of the property sufficient to justify such reclassification or redetermination.
Billing and payment of fees
10(1) For the purposes of this section, a property owner is the owner of the land on which
dwelling units are located or, in respect of dwelling units owned pursuant to The Condominium
Act, C.C.S.M. c. C170, the property owner is the owner of a condominium unit.
10(2) Subject to this section, the property owner must pay the fee imposed under section 7 for
each dwelling unit on the property within 30 days after the fee has been imposed.
10(3) For the purposes of billing and payment, the designated employee may add the fees
imposed under section 7 to a utility bill issued in respect of the water and wastewater services
provided to the property in which the dwelling units are located.
10(4) For greater certainty, where a utility bill for water or wastewater services is issued to
the condominium corporation that is responsible for the control, management and
administration of the common elements of the property in which the condominium unit is
located (pursuant to the Water By-law or the Sewer By-law), the designated employee is
authorized to add the fees payable under this By-law by each owner of an individual
condominium unit to that utility bill. If the condominium corporation fails to pay these fees,
the designated employee is authorized to collect the fees from each owner of a condominium
on the property.
