# Fees and Charges Most municipal services are subsidized from property taxes. User fee increases allow the Town to reduce the impact on the tax rate while continuing to provide high levels of service to our customers. Hard copies of fees and charges and the related by-law can be obtained from the Legislative Services Department at 395 Mulock Drive. ## Rates and fees annual review As part of the annual business planning and budget schedule, all rates and fees were reviewed in accordance with the Annual Budget Review Process and application of the Service Pricing Policy. The Annual Budget Review includes a review of market conditions, participation rates and external factors. The Service Pricing Policy, established in 2007, balances costs between user groups and taxpayers and allows for long-term financial sustainability. For further information on the Service Pricing Policy, please read the Municipal Budget 101 - Service Pricing Policy. ## 2026 Fees and Charges * General Fees * All Departments Fees and Charges [PDF/86KB] * Corporate Services Fees and Charges [PDF/133KB] * Recreation and Culture Fees and Charges [PDF/1.8MB] * Public Works Fees and Charges [PDF/377KB] * Parks Fees and Charges [PDF/103KB] * Engineering Fees and Charges [PDF/108KB] * Fire Services Fees and Charges [PDF/147KB] * Planning Services Fees and Charges [PDF/575KB] * Planning Act Processing Fees and Charges [PDF/199KB] * Legislative Services General Fees and Charges [PDF/223KB] * Legislative Services Licensing Fees and Charges [PDF/329KB] * Building Services Division Fees and Charges [PDF/785KB] * Building Permit Fees and Charges [PDF/259KB] * Water and Wastewater Rates [PDF/116KB] * Stormwater Rates [PDF/90KB] ### ### 2023-76 - General Fees [PDF/5MB] * 2024 All Departments General Fees and Charges [PDF/51KB] * 2024 Legislative Services General Fees and Charges [PDF/68KB] * 2024 Recreation Culture Services Fees and Charges [PDF/239KB] * 2024 Corporate Services Fees and Charges [PDF/67KB] * 2024 Public Works and Parks Fees and Charges [PDF/168KB] * 2024 Engineering Services Fees and Charges [PDF/61KB] * 2024 Planning Fees and Charges [PDF/11KB] * 2024 Central York Fire Services User Fees [PDF/56KB] #### 2023-74 - Licensing [PDF/37KB] * 2024 Legislative Services - Licensing Fees [PDF/91KB] #### 2024-18- Planning Processing Fees [PDF/482KB] * 2024 Planning Processing Fees and Charges [PDF/176KB] #### 2024-17- Building [PDF/307KB] * 2024 Building Permit Fees [PDF/174KB] #### 2022-64 - Water Wastewater [PDF/1.2MB] * 2024 Water and Wastewater Rates [PDF/28KB] #### 2022-63 - Stormwater [PDF/742KB] * 2024 Stormwater Rates [PDF/11KB] ### **2025 Fees and Charges** * **General Fees [PDF/4.3MB]** [PDF/4.3MB] * **All Departments [PDF/184KB]** [PDF/184KB](Fees that apply to all departments) * **Corporate Services Fees [PDF/279KB]** [PDF/279KB](Finance, Legal, Procurement, IT) * **Recreation and Culture Fees and Charges [PDF/327KB]** [PDF/327KB] * **Public Works and Parks Fees and Charges [PDF/231KB]** [PDF/231KB] * **Engineering Fees and Charges [PDF/202KB]** [PDF/202KB] * **Fire Services Fees and Charges [PDF/219KB]** [PDF/219KB] * **Planning Services Fees and Charges [PDF/192KB]** [PDF/192KB] * **Planning Act Processing Fees and Charges [PDF/133KB]** [PDF/133KB] * **Legislative Services General Fees and Charges** [PDF/241KB] * **Legislative Services Licensing Fees and Charges** * **Building Services Division Fees and Charges** * **Water and Wastewater Rates [PDF/191KB]** [PDF/191KB] * **Stormwater Rates [PDF/185KB]** [PDF/185KB] ## Notice: Proposed minor building fee amendments Please be advised that on June 26, 2023, Council will meet to consider the merits of making minor amendments to the Building Division Fees schedule.

Questions about this proposed by-law amendment may be directed to the Chief Building Official at [email protected].
