Development Charges
Development charges are one-time fees charged by the Township on new properties to help offset the cost of specified services as outlined in the Development Charges Act.
By charging the builder these fees, the Township can ensure that the taxes of the current residents of Centre Wellington are not directly affected by this new development.
Development Charges are controlled through the Township’s Development Charge By-law and are based on corresponding comprehensive Development Charges Background Studies.
