DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES
Planning ahead . . . . |
to meet tomorrow's needs.
WHAT ARE DEVELOPMENT CHARGES?
Development Charge means a charge imposed with respect to
growth-related net capital costs against land. Under the
Development Charges Act, municipalities must undertake a
background study. The Township of North Dundas completed a
detailed background study (dated November 19, 2021) and an
addendum (January 6, 2022)
GENERAL PURPOSE
The purpose of a development charge is to generate adequate
revenue to finance growth-related net capital costs for municipal
services required because of growth. In essence, a development
charge is designed to maintain the same average level of service
offered to existing residents of the municipality. One might say it is
similar to buying a corporate share (investment) in the municipality.
An example of the purpose of the charge would be as follows: Four
hundred additional dwellings are built in the municipality and there
arises the need for an additional volunteer fire fighter. The
development charges reserve fund could be used to fund the
purchase of a bunker suit and communications equipment for that
individual. The need for an additional volunteer fire fighter emerged
from growth and now is charged back to growth through
development charges. Development charges may not be used for
salaries, maintenance costs, operational costs, or replacement
equipment and furniture.
WHO MUST PAY DEVELOPMENT CHARGES?
Development charges are imposed on all forms of development,
with certain exceptions. The charges do not apply to accessory
uses to residential uses, including: a garage, storage building,
garden shed, swimming pool, small additions, or other similar uses.
Generally, development charges are only applied against new
dwelling units or new non-residential buildings. The non-residential
charges are pro-rated to account for economies of scale. The scale
is provided on the reverse.
WHEN MUST THE CHARGE BE PAID?
Development charges must be paid on the date a building permit is
issued for a building or structure on land to which a development
charge applies. The municipality is not required to issue a building
permit unless the development charges have been paid. An
agreement can be entered into for early or late payment of the
charges in accordance with the legislation.
TREASURER'S STATEMENT
The public may view the annual treasurer's development charges
