Development Charges By-Law Update

The County of Brant is nearing completion of its 2024 Development Charges Background Study and By-law Update. The following is the projected timeline for this project:

• October 4 – Release of Second Addendum to the Background Study
• October 15 – Presentation of Background Study and By-law to the Administration and Operations Committee for Recommendation to Approve
• October 22 – Approval of Background Study and By-law by County of Brant Council
• November 1 – Effective date for new Development Charges By-law

A link to the addendum will be sent to project followers and will be published on this page.

As part of the staff report to Committee on October 15, we will be preparing a quick-reference sheet outlining timing for the implementation of the new by-law, explaining “freezing” triggers, deadlines and the application of the interest policy.

As a reminder, the statutory public hearing for the Development Charges Background Study and By-law was held in June, 2024. If any stakeholders would like an opportunity to further present to Committee or Council on this matter, they should contact the County of Brant Clerks Division at clerks@brant.ca to arrange for a delegation.

On Tuesday, June 25, 2024 County of Brant Council held a public meeting to present and obtain public input on the County’s proposed development charges (D.C.) by-law and background study. Now with a new Development Charges by-law scheduled to be presented to Council in September, County staff are preparing to update Development Charges on October 2, 2024.
