These include, government agencies, public schools, colleges and universities, and certain residential expansions. In addition, the Township of Brock has chosen to exempt hospitals, places of worship, agricultural buildings, and buildings used for temporary purposes as outlined in the by-law. Collection Policy Applicable development charges shall be payable at the time a building permit is issued unless the charge has been paid prior to the issuance of a building permit as a condition of a rezoning, minor variance, consent, or plan of subdivision and subject to section 26 of the Development Charges Act. In addition, the Development Charges Act, S. O. 1997, provides that development charges are payable in full despite the fact that a lot levy may have been paid prior to November 7, 1991 (normally as a condition of a land severance). By resolution, the Township of Brock Council has declared that any lot levies which may have been paid will be credited against the applicable development charge with the difference to be paid by the applicant upon issuance of a building permit. Effective Date and Indexing Provisions All development charges became applicable under the current by-law, on June 10, 2024 and the development charges will be indexed July 1 of each subsequent year in accordance with the annual change in the Statistics Canada Construction Price Index. This by-law will expire on June 11, 2034.
