Middlesex Centre | Development Charges 1 of 10 Development Charges Rules In general, this by-law applies to all lands in the municipality, whether or not the land or use is exempt from taxation under Section 3 of the Assessment Act. Date of Calculation and Payment Development charges imposed by the municipality are calculated and payable in accordance with the by-law and the provisions of the Development Charge Act. Generally, development charges are calculated and payable on the date of building permit issuance. However, for developments that are subject to a Zoning By-law Amendment or Site Plan application (whichever is later), the development charge is calculated the day a complete application is received and is "locked in" upon approval for a period of up to 18 months. If after 18 months a building permit has not been issued, the rate will revert to the development charge rate in effect on the date the building permit is issued. There are also deferred payment schedules for rental housing and certain institutional development. Please consult the by-law and/or contact the municipality for details.
