Development Charges

Town-wide Development Charge Background Study and By-laws – 2024 Update

Development charges are new fees paid by developers to help cover the initial capital cost of infrastructure required to accommodate service growth. This infrastructure may include roads, sidewalks, recreational facilities, libraries, parks, fire stations and other infrastructure needed to support complete communities.

A Development Charge Background Study ("Study") entitled "Town of Caledon 2024 Development Charge Background Study" was prepared on February 29, 2024. Through the public consultation process, revisions were made and the final Study dated July 3, 2024 is found below. This consolidation version reflects those changes and supports the rates in DC By-laws No. 2024-042 and No. 2024-043.

Town of Caledon Council put into effect on May 30, 2024 the Town-wide Development Charges By-law No. 2024-042 and Roads Development Charges By-law No. 2024-043, which were both enacted by Town Council on May 21, 2024 in accordance with the Development Charges Act 1997, S.O. 1997 c.27.

Frequently asked questions:

What are Development Charges?
Development charges are fees paid by developers to help cover the capital cost of infrastructure required to accommodate growth. This infrastructure may include roads, sidewalks, recreational facilities, libraries, parks, fire stations and other infrastructure needed to support complete communities.
When do Development Charges apply?
Under the Development Charges Act, 1997 (DCA) section 2, development charges are charged for development that requires approval under the:
  • Planning Act for a zoning by-law amendment, a minor variance, a conveyance of land, approval of a plan of subdivision or consent under section 53.
  • Condominium Act for the approval of a description under section 9, or
  • Building Code Act for the issuing of a permit in relation to a building or structure.

The DCA has also specified that the following developments do not incur development charges.

  • The enlargement of an existing dwelling unit (i.e. adding additional gross floor area to a residential home, as long as additional dwelling units are not created),
  • The creation of additional dwelling units (depending on the number created) in existing and new residential buildings, subject to limitations under the DCA.
  • Non-profit housing as defined in the DCA.
  • Expansion of existing industrial developments, for attached enlargements where the gross floor area is expanded by 50% or less.
  • Municipalities or a board as defined in subsection 1(1) of the Education Act.

Development charges are also not applicable to interior renovation building permits unless the renovation is for the purpose of a change of use (between development types), or additional non-residential gross floor area is added.
What is the current Development Charge rate?

Town of Caledon, Region of Peel and Go Transit rates change semi-annually on February 1 and August 1, using the Statistics Canada Construction Price Index as a guide. School Boards' rates change annually on July 1. The total development charge is made up of the Town, Region of Peel, Go Transit and School Boards' charges. Please visit caledon.ca/dc to view current Development Charge rates – currently subject to review.

Calculating Development Charge rates

To assist us in calculating your development charge, please complete:

Payment

For site plan or rezoning applications that meet Section 26.2 of Development Charges Act criterion (such as application being complete on or after January 1, 2020 and time elapse between application approval and building permit issuance is less than 18 months), Development Charges would be calculated at rates applicable on the date when an application is deemed to be complete (the application completion date). Interest charges will apply for affected applications. Development Charges will be payable at the time of building permit issuance as required under the Development Charges Act and the Town’s Development Charges By-law.  Any estimates provided will be updated based on changes in actual information related to the construction as provided in the building permit application and any changes to the Development Charges Act and Development Charges By-law/policies. For additional information, please contact Town staff at finance@caledon.ca

Payment of Development Charges may be made by cheque or wire transfer.

Payment by cheque

  • Your cheque or bank draft for Development Charges should be made payable to the “Town of Caledon” and does not have to be certified.
  • Your cheque may be delivered to staff at Service Caledon on the ground floor of Town Hall (6311 Old Church Road, Caledon East). Your receipt will be emailed to you, after which you may contact Building Services regarding the availability and pickup of a building permit.
  • For the purposes of convenience, your cheques may also be deposited in the dropbox outside the front entrance of Town Hall with a note to say it is for Development Charges. Please include the file numbers on any accompanying correspondences.
  • The dropbox is cleared daily, and the Town’s receipt will be emailed to you.
