CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF STRONG
BY-LAW # 2021 - 011
BEING A BY-LAW TO PROVIDE FOR FEES CHARGED
BY THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF STRONG
WHEREAS the Corporation of the Township of Strong charges various fees for
licenses, permits, and services offered by the Corporation;
AND WHEREAS Section 8 of the Municipal Act, S.O. 2001 provides that the powers of
a municipality under the Act or any other Act shall be interpreted broadly so as to confer
broad authority on the municipality to enable the municipality to govern its affairs as it
considers appropriate and to enhance the municipality's ability to respond to municipal
issues;
AND WHEREAS Section 9 of the Municipal Act provides that a municipality has the
capacity, rights, power and privileges of a natural person for the purpose of exercising
its authority under the Act or any other Act;
AND WHEREAS Section 391 of the Municipal Act, 2001, c 25, as amended, gives
authority for a municipality to impose fees or charges on persons,
a) For services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of it;
b) For costs payable by it for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf
of any other municipality or local board; and
c) For the use of its property, including property under its control
AND WHEREAS Section 398 of the Municipal Act provides the municipality with
authority to add unpaid fees and charges, including any interest on the unpaid balance,
to the tax roll for any real property within the Municipality owned by the person
responsible for paying the fees and charges, and the amount may be collected in the
same manner as municipal taxes;
AND WHEREAS pursuant to Section 69 (1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.P. 13, a
Council of a Municipality may, by by-law, prescribe a tariff of fees for the processing of
applications made in respect of planning matters;
AND WHEREAS the Corporation deems it advisable to create a comprehensive by-law
to provide for the charging of fees;
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Strong enacts as
follows:
1. That the fees set out in Schedules A through H, annexed to and forming part of this
By-Law, shall be charged for licences, permits, services and documents listed
therein.
2. That no request by any person for any information, service, activity, or use of
Municipal property will be provided unless and until the person requesting the
information, service, activity, or use of Municipal property has paid the applicable
fee in the prescribed amount as set out in the attached Schedules.
3. That when necessary, the Township of Strong reserves the right to require a deposit
amount for the purposes of retaining professional services (solicitor, engineer,
planner, etc.) in all planning matters.
4. That a fee shall be charged to the proponent of any application of a planning nature,
before an approval or review of the application is undertaken by Council.
a) The fee for the processing of applications made with respect to planning matters
shall be set out in Schedule 'F' annexed to and forming part of this by-law. The
fees set out in Schedule 'F' do not include additional costs, which may also be
collected as fees, pursuant to sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) below.
b) In planning matters, the Municipality may in its discretion require the services of
professional consultants such as planners, lawyers, surveyors, engineers, and
other experts and professional persons. In such cases, the applicant will be
required to pay the actual cost to the Municipality of such services in addition to
any fixed Municipal fees. The applicant may be required to provide a deposit or
other security for a reasonable estimate of such costs to the Municipality before
proceeding, and if such costs exceed the original estimate, may be asked to
provide additional security or deposit before the matter is completed.
c) In addition to the fees set out in Schedule 'F', the applicant shall be responsible
for any legal or other costs incurred by the Municipality if requested by the
applicant to defend a decision it has made before the Local Planning Appeal
Tribunal. The provisions of subparagraph (b) immediately above apply to such
costs and the Municipality may decline to defend the matter unless the applicant
provides security for such costs.
d) The Clerk of the Municipality, upon receipt of an application and payment thereof,
shall commence processing the application, in accordance with regulations and
procedures established in the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, as amended.
5. Notwithstanding that a tariff of fees is prescribed, the Council of the Municipality
may reduce the amount of, or waive the requirement for, the payment of a fee at its
discretion in cases of hardship where it is determined that the action for which the
fee is to be charged will be for the general benefit of the municipality and its
ratepayers.
6. That if the provisions of this by-law conflict with any other by-law of the Corporation
heretofore passed, then the provisions of this by-law shall prevail.
7. That this by-law shall be known as the "Fees and Charges By-law".
8. This by-law shall come into force and effect on the date of passing.
Read a First, Second, and
Third time, Signed and the
Seal of the Corporation affixed
thereto and finally passed in
Council this 27th day of April, 2021.
