# Development charges by-laws and rates
The City collects its own Development Charges (DCs). It also collects development charges on behalf of the Region of Peel, the Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.
DC rates are indexed twice a year on February 1 and August 1.
**Current rates**
* Development charges (rates valid from August 1, 2026 until January 31, 2027)
On June 22, 2022, City Council approved a new development charges by-law and DC background study, while repealing the 2019 DC by-law. Subsequently on March 7, 2025, the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) ordered that the City of Mississauga Development Charges By-law 0133-2022 is amended, and approved as amended, by replacing the Schedules contained in the 2022 DC By-law. The amended 2022 DC By-law can be found at the link below.

## Calculating your development charge rate
The applicable DC rate is the rate in effect at the time your building permit is ready to be issued. However, on January 1, 2020, changes to the DC Act came into effect that altered when DC rates are calculated:
* For developments that are seeking site plan approval (after January 1, 2020), DCs are calculated and frozen at the rate in effect on the day a site plan application is made (as per subsection 41(4) of the Planning Act)
* For developments that are seeking a zoning by-law amendment and do not require site plan approval (after January 1, 2020), DCs are calculated and frozen at the rate in effect on the day an application for a zoning by-law amendment is made (as per section 34 of the Planning Act)
As part of these changes, the City and Region are allowed to charge interest on frozen DC rates:
* On February 3, 2021 City Council adopted a corporate policy entitled Development Charges Interest Rates and Associated Payments.
* On July 9, 2020, Regional Council approved the Development Charges Interest Rate policy and enacted By-law 21-2020.
