Development Charges 2019
Consultation has concluded
The 2019 Development Charges Bylaw was approved by Council on Aug. 13, 2019 and came into effect Sept. 29, 2019.
The City of Kingston has initiated a background study to inform possible changes to its Development Charge and Impost Fee bylaws, which are due to expire at the end of September. The DC and Impost Fee will be consolidated in the 2019 Background Study and the new DC Bylaw.
As part of the building permit process, the City charges builders to help fund the need for additional infrastructure required to accommodate future growth.
The Development Charges Act, 1997, requires that the municipality review its development charge every five years, including preparing a background study and holding at least one statutory public meeting.
Ask a question about the 2019 Background Study and the new DC Bylaw.
