The Corporation of the Town of Aurora
By-law Number 6737-25
Being a By-law to establish a schedule of fees and charges for municipal
services, activities, and the use of property within the Town of Aurora
(Fees and Charges By-law).
Whereas subsection 391(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25 as amended,
authorizes a municipality to impose fees and charges on persons (a) for services or
activities provided or done by or on behalf of it; (b) for costs payable by it for services or
activities provided or done by or on behalf of any other municipality or any local board;
and (c) for the use of its property including property under its control;
And whereas on November 26, 2024, the Council of The Corporation of the Town of
Aurora (the "Town") enacted By-law Number 6656-24, to establish a schedule of fees
and charges for municipal services, activities and the use of property within the Town of
Aurora;
And whereas on April 22, 2025, the Council of the Town enacted By-law Number 6693-
25, to amend By-law Number 6656-24, to update the bulk water fees (during

Operational Services Department;
And whereas the Town has conducted an annual corporate-wide review of its fees and
charges and deems it necessary to alter the fees and charges for municipal services,
activities and the use of property within the Town of Aurora;
And whereas the Council of the Town deems it necessary and expedient to enact a by-
law setting out the fees and charges for municipal services, activities and the use of the
property within the Town of Aurora;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora hereby enacts as
follows:
