BACKGROUND
City Council passed By-laws 110-2024 to 1
17-2024 and 126-2024 on July 10, 2024. The by-laws
impose DCs on all lands in the City of Brampton, with some
limited exemptions. Copies of the by-laws are available on
the City's website and at the City Clerk's Office.
WHAT ARE DCs?
DCs are fees collected by the City to help recover the cost
of building new infrastructure that is needed to service new
development and redevelopment occurring in Brampton.
Development charge funds may only be used for the
purpose for which they are collected. Development charges
are based on the philosophy that existing taxpayers should
not be liable for the capital costs required to service
growth.
DO I HAVE TO PAY DCs?
You may be required to pay DCs if you are:
- Constructing a new building
- Making an addition to an existing building that increases
the number of residential units or the non-residential
gross floor area
- Redeveloping a property or making interior alterations
that result in a change of use to all or part of a building
WHAT DOES THE CITY DOWITH THE DCs
COLLECTED?
DCs help to pay for the following services provided by the
City:
- Library
- Fire and Emergency Services
- Recreation

WHEN ARE DCs PAYABLE
TO THE CITY?
In most cases, DCs are calculated and payable on the date
a building permit is issued. The building department will not
release the permit until the DCs have been paid in full.
Development charges are payable in equal annual
installments for rental and non-profit housing, and
institutional development. The installments begin on the
earlier of building permit issuance and first occupancy and
continue for 5 years for rental housing and institutional
development. Non-profit housing developments are exempt
from development charges.
As a result of the passage of Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster
Act, purpose-built rental housing is eligible for development
charge discounts ranging from 15-25% based on the size of
the unit being built.
CALCULATION OF CHARGE
The development charge payable is the charge that would be
determined under the by-law on:
- the day of application for site plan control; or, if not
applicable;
- the day of application for rezoning; or, if both not
applicable;
- the day set out in the by-law.
INDEXING OF
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
DCs are indexed on February 1 and August 1 of every year,
in accordance with the most recent change in the Statistics
Canada, Non-Residential Building Construction Price Index
(NRBCPI).

balances of the DC reserves funds and the yearly
