Whereas section 10(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may
provide any service or thing that the municipality considers necessary or desirable for
the public;
Whereas section 10(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may
pass by-laws respecting: in paragraph 7, Services and things that the municipality is
authorized to provide under subsection (1);
Whereas section 391(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may
impose fees or charges on persons:

(c) for the use of its property including property under its control;
Whereas subsection 391(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a fee or charge

Whereas subsection 391(4) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a fee or charge
may be imposed whether or not it is mandatory for the municipality or local board
imposing the fee or charge to provide or do the service or activity, pay the costs or
allow the use of its property;
Whereas subsection 391(5) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that, in the event of a
conflict between a fee or charge by-law and the Municipal Act, 2001, or any other act
or regulation made under any other act, the by-law prevails;

(viii)
subsection 69(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13;
Whereas it is deemed expedient to pass this By-law;
Therefore Be It Resolved That the Council of the Corporation of the Township of
South Frontenac hereby enacts as follows:
1. Council hereby establishes the fees and charges as set out in the schedules to this By-law for
The Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac (South Frontenac). The fees and charges
will be subject to Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and Retail Sales Tax (RST), where applicable.
2.
a) Unless otherwise stipulated, the fees and charges shall be adjusted annually, on
January 1 by the Consumer Price Index of the third quarter of the prior year .
b) In those instances where the fee is not adjusted by the Consumer Price Index in
one year, the cumulative adjustment for past years may be made in future
years, as approved by Council.
c) Despite paragraph 2(a), fees and charges may be adjusted, as approved by
council, to recover at a minimum, respective service, administration and capital
costs, as well as costs for any other purpose in any amount permitted under
applicable law.
3. Payment is received at the time of the transaction for which the fee or charge is imposed, or
upon the due date specified in the terms of a contract signed by the Township or an invoice
issued by the Township.
4. Unless otherwise stipulated, any portion of a fee or charge that remains unpaid beyond the
date fixed for payment may bear interest at the rate of 1.25% (15% per annum) after thirty (30)
days and each month thereafter until such fee or charge is paid in full.
5. The Township may use a collection agency to collect any unpaid fee or charge, including
interest charged pursuant to section 4 and the collection agency's fees, as approved by the
Township, shall be added to the unpaid amounts to become the total amount payable to the
collection agency.
6. The Treasurer shall add unpaid fees and charges imposed by the municipality to the tax roll
associated with the property in the Township of South Frontenac and collect them in the same
manner as municipal taxes:
a) In the case of fees and charges for the supply of a public utility, the property to
which the public utility was supplied.
b) In all other cases, any property for which all of the owners are responsible for
paying the fees and charges.
7. Where this By-law established a fee and charge for a fee that also exists in another by-law that
predates the effective date of this by-law, the fee and charge in this By-law shall be the
applicable fee and charge and the other by-law is hereby effectively amended.
8. In the event that By-law 2024-59, as amended, is repealed and re-enacted or amended in its
entirety, it shall be assigned the same by-law number, due to the fact this by-law is mentioned
in several other related by-laws.
9. Should any part of this By-law, including any part of any schedule, be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or of no force and effect, it is council's intention that such
invalid part of this by-law shall be severable and that the remainder of this by-law including the
Township of South Frontenac By-Law Number 2024-59
Page 5 of 14
remainder of the impugned schedule, as applicable, shall continue to operate and to be in
force and effect.
