Development charges provide for the recovery of growth-related capital expenditures from new development. The current Development Charges By-law provides for the growth-related capital cost recovery for nine service components - roads, fire protection, library, transit, administration, parks, recreation, other transportation and an area-specific charge for stormwater management monitoring (only applicable to development occurring in the Sherwood Survey Secondary Planning Area - Phase 2).
The new Development Charges Act, along with regulation O.Reg. 82/98, provides authority that is more restrictive for municipalities to impose charges for development. The new Development Charges Act:
Council passed the Town of Milton's current Development Charges By-law #078-2009 on June 22, 2009. This by-law imposes residential development charges (calculated on the number and type of units) and non-residential development charges (calculated per square metre of total floor area of the building) upon all lands within the boundaries of the Town of Milton. Development charges applicable to residential and non-residential development are calculated, payable and collected as of the date a building permit is issued. The Roads and Stormwater Management Monitoring service components, where applicable, are payable prior to the execution of the subdivision agreement.
