Where can I find information on development charge exemptions and reductions that support the creation of housing?
Municipalities in Ontario use Development Charges (DCs) to recover growth-related capital costs associated with residential and non-residential growth. In accordance with the Development Charges Act, DCs are collected at the building permit stage to help the City pay for municipal services needed to support new development. These services include water, wastewater, emergency services, roads and more. Please visit the Development Charges website for more information.
