The Corporation of the United Townships of Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt,
Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde
By-Law No. 2026-15
Being a by-law to impose fees and charges
Whereas Section 391 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
municipality may pass by-laws imposing fees or charges on any class of persons, for
services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of it; for costs payable by it for
services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of any other municipality or local
board; and for the use of its property including property under its control.
And whereas Section 69 of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended, provides
the statutory authority for a by-law prescribing a tariff of fees for the processing of
applications made in respect of planning matters.
And whereas Section 398 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides for the
amount owing to be added to the tax roll.
And whereas Council has reviewed the various fees and charges imposed by the
Municipality and it is deemed expedient to incorporate updates to Administrative Fees.
Now therefore the Council of the Corporation of the United Townships of Dysart et al
enacts as follows:
1.
That Administrative fees and charges imposed by the Municipality shall be
outlined on Schedule "A" attached hereto and forming part of this By-law.
2.
That Parks and Recreation fees and charges imposed by the Municipality shall
be outlined on Schedule "B" attached hereto and forming part of this By-law.
3.
That Fire Department fees and charges imposed by the Municipality shall be
outlined on Schedule "C" attached hereto and forming part of this By-law.
4.
That Waste Management fees and charges imposed by the Municipality shall
be outlined in Schedule "D" attached hereto and forming part of this By-law.
5.
That Planning Department fees and charges imposed by the Municipality shall
be outlined in Schedule "E" attached hereto and forming part of this By-law.
6.
That Electric Vehicle Charging Station fees and charges imposed by the
Municipality shall be outlined in Schedule "F" attached hereto and forming part
of this By-law.
7.
That any fees or charges invoiced, shall be due within 30 days of invoice date.
8.
That fees or charges not paid within 30 days of the invoice date shall be subject
to a late payment charge of 1.25% per month, or part thereof.
9.
That if a property owner who is charged a fee under any Schedule, as
applicable, of this By-law fails to pay the fee within ninety (90) days of the
invoice date, the Municipality may add the fee, including interest, to the tax roll
for any real property in the Municipality registered in the name of the property
owner and collect the fee, including interest, in the same manner as Municipal
taxes.
10.
That By-Law 2025-18 is hereby repealed.
11.
That in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this By-law and any
other By-law, the provisions of this By-law shall prevail.
Read a first, second and third time, passed, signed and the Corporate Seal attached
hereto this 27th day of January, 2026.
Mayor: Murray Fearrey
Acting Clerk: Tamara Wilbee
By signing this by-law on January 27th, 2026, Mayor Murray Fearrey will not exercise the

for preconsultation review to the Municipality in advance of application submission.
2Major Zoning Bylaw Amendment:
A "Major" Zoning Bylaw amendment is a Zoning Bylaw amendment that (one or more may
apply):
i)
Requires a major amendment to the Municipality's Official Plan and/or an
amendment to the County of Haliburton's Official Plan;
ii)
Requires extensive studies and/or consultation and collaboration with external
agencies;
iii)
Constitutes a change of use to permit new Commercial, Industrial, Extractive or
Institutional uses;
iv)
Constitutes a substantial increase in density (ie, accompanying an application for
Plan of Condominium or Subdivision, conversion to medium or high density
residential use from low density residential use.).
v)
Constitutes a substantial increase in the development envelope or density for
existing Commercial, Industrial, Extractive or Institutional uses.
3Minor Zoning Bylaw Amendment:
A "Minor" Zoning Bylaw amendment is a Zoning Bylaw amendment that:
i)
Applies to a single parcel or land for low density residential use, including the
construction of an additional dwelling unit;
ii)
Permits additional ancillary or accessory uses or structures that are compatible
with the existing Zone designation and Official Plan policies;
iii)
Permits minor increases in floor area, height, parking areas, etc., for existing
Commercial, Industrial or Institutional uses;
iv)
Clarifies existing zone boundaries through a professional evaluation (ie, a
qualified professional providing revised environmental protection boundaries,
hazard land boundaries, etc.).
4Major Official Plan Amendment:
A "Major" Official Plan amendment is an Official Plan amendment that (one or more may
apply):
i)
Proposes a re-designation or change in land use for property(ies);
ii)
Requires many changes to the policies and schedules of the Official Plan;
iii)
Is more significant in scale and scope than a minor Official Plan amendment, and
which may have greater impact or policy implications beyond the subject lands.
Applications relating to more than one property would normally be in this
category;
iv)
A site-specific application representing a large scale development/redevelopment
or a change in use. An application involving significant changes to the text or
policies of the Official Plan would also fall in this category; and,
v)
An application that also requires an amendment to the County of Haliburton
Official Plan.
5Minor Official Plan Amendment:
A "Minor" Official Plan amendment is an Official Plan amendment that:
i)
Proposes a small-scale exception to a specific Official Plan standard (e.g., minor
changes to the number of permitted units; or to add a site-specific use limited in
scale);
ii)
Proposes a minor change to a specific policy that is limited in scope and typically
to one property;
iii)
Maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan; and,
iv)
Shall have limited impact or policy implications beyond the subject lands.
6Requests to Council requiring a staff report:
Occasionally, land owners may request that the Municipality assist with planning processes
or real property matters, such as permission to cross a one foot reserve, or that the
Municipality take widening to a road to facilitate a lot merger. Where these requests require
a planning staff report to provide context or advice alongside the proposal, a nominal fee
may be charged to cover costs.
This fee does not apply to matters whereby Council has directed staff to bring a report for
their consideration.
7Deposits:
The Municipality may require the payment of deposits upon submission of any application.
Deposits may be applied to cover peer review fees, professional fees should the
Municipality require the expertise or advice of a third party consultant (engineer, planner,
surveyor, etc.), as well as any legal costs incurred. Deposits may also be applied to any
registration fees, disbursements, reproduction costs, postage, advertising, telephone
charges, facsimile charges, and any other reasonable costs which may be incurred by the
Municipality.
Should fees exceed the initial deposit received, the Municipality shall request further
deposits or payments of invoices. Additional funds may be requested from time to time, to
fully cover the municipal expenses. Work will not be completed by the Municipality, its
solicitor or consultants until such deposit has been paid by the applicant.
The Municipality will keep an accurate record of all costs incurred with respect to planning
applications. Upon completion of the processing of an application, the Municipality will
reconcile the account for the applications where a deposit has been paid. A refund of the
deposit will be made with the exception of those costs incurred by the Municipality, as
determined by the Treasurer. If the cost to process an application exceeds the deposit, the
applicant will be responsible for the additional costs and will pay such costs upon invoice by
the Municipality.
