# Development Charges
## What are Development Charges?
The Township of Russell collects a development charge on new and redeveloped property. This money helps pay for the expansion and growth of Township infrastructure, services, and projects including roads, water and wastewater, parks, community centers, and recreation programs.
The annual budget process determines what capital projects receive money collected from the development charges. The various rates are authorized and governed by the Development Charges Act, 1997. Read the provincial law on Development Charges.

## Development Charge By-Law
Read the full Development Charges By-Law.
## Development Charge Rates
For current rates, please see Schedule "B" and "C" in the Development Charges Act.
Charges are indexed bi-annually on January 1 and July 1 according to the Statistics Canada Construction Price Statistics. The posted rates are provided as reference only. The Township of Russell will apply Development Charges according to the definitions and policies contained in the By-law, as amended. Fees are paid by property owners which are seeking a building permit to develop their properties.
## 2025 Development Charge Background Study
The Development Charges Act requires that a background study be prepared to determine fees based on current service levels and the forecasted amount, type and location of future development within the municipality. Contact our Finance Department for details on how we set our fees or if you have questions about the background study.
