And Whereas The Municipal Act, 2001 S.O. 2001 grants a municipality power to pass
By-laws that impose specific fees for licensing, services, permits and other reasons;

matters;
And Whereas Section 446(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 S.O. 2001 authorizes the
municipality under this or any other Act or under By-law under this or any other Act to
direct or require a person to do a matter or thing, the municipality may also provide
that, in default of it being done by the person directed or required to do it, the matter
or thing shall be done at the person's expense;
And Whereas, the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Amherstburg wishes to
establish and maintain a list of services, activities and the use of property subject to
fees or charges and the amount of each fee or charge;
Now Therefore the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Amherstburg

indexing, but are as established under this By-law in accordance with actual
cost demands and related strategic plans respectively.
9. All fees and charges will be charged plus applicable taxes, unless otherwise
noted.
10. Should any section, subsection, clause or provIsIon of this By-law or its
Schedules be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the
said section, subsection, clause or provision shall not affect the validity of this
By-law or its Schedules as a whole or any part thereof, other than the part so
