## What are development charges?
Development charges are one-time fees that developers pay to help recover some of the costs of new infrastructure needed to support growth in the Town. Development charges do not pay for operating costs or infrastructure renewal and may only be used for the purpose for which they are collected.
The collection of development charges is governed by the Development Charges Act, 1997 and administered through the Town's Development Charges bylaw.
Town services that are currently eligible to receive funding from Development Charges as set out in the Town's Development Charges Background Study include:
* roads and transit
* water, wastewater and stormwater
* parks, recreation and libraries
* police and fire protection
### Development charges map
This bylaw includes charges that apply town wide as well as charges that apply in specific areas only. Explore our development charges map to learn more about the specific areas that development charges apply to.
### Current development charge rules
