Development Charge
Information
BY-LAW 24-43
This bulletin summarizes the Development Charge By-law effective January 1, 2026. The
information contained herein is intended only as a guide. Interested parties should review
the approved by-law and consult Clearview staff to determine the applicable charges that
may apply to specific development proposals.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bulletin is intended to give an overview of development charges. For more complete
information, refer to the Development Charges Background Study and amendment, by-law
24-43 and Clearview's annual DC Statement. This information is available in the Clearview
Administration Centre during regular hours or online at www.clearview.ca. If you require
additional information, please contact:
Treasurer, PO Box 200, 217 Gideon Street, Stayner, ON, L0M 1S0. (705) 428-6230 ext. 236,
[email protected]
The development charges will be adjusted annually on January 1 of each year, without
amendment to the by-law in accordance with the most recent annual change in the
Statistics Canada Quarterly Construction Price Statistics.
STATEMENT OF THE TREASURER
The Clearview Treasurer is required to produce an annual statement
showing detailed information about each reserve fund established to
account for development charge revenues. The statement will
document the continuity of each reserve fund, including the description
of each service, opening and closing balances, details of any credit
transactions, details of any borrowing from the reserve fund that may
have occurred, the amount spent on growth-related projects, the
portion of each project that is funded from the reserve fund and the
portion funded from other sources of financing.
PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
These charges assist in financing capital projects required to meet the increased need for
services resulting from growth and development. The charges collected may only be used for
the purpose for which they are collected.
APPLICATION OF CHARGES
The charges are levied according to the service area in which the development is located.
Some charges apply municipal-wide. Water, wastewater and stormwater charges only apply
to a specific area and are in addition to the municipal-wide charges. Stayner pre-paid
represents developments included in certain Stayner Sewer DC prepayment agreements.
