Development Charges
Development charges
Properly planned growth is good for our community, but it comes with costs. New development can lead to new infrastructure, including roads, sidewalks, sewers, community facilities and fire services. Development charges help cover the costs associated with growth.
Development charges are levied against new development and are a primary source of funding for growth-related capital expenditures. The City-Wide Development Charges Background Study relates to the provision of all eligible DC Services (i.e., Library Services, Fire Services, Police Services, Recreation, Parks, Public Works, Parking, Transit Services, General Government, Affordable Housing, Waste Management, Roads & Other City-wide Engineering and Sewage Treatment). The City of Peterborough Development Charges Pamphlet summarizes the City’s policy with respect to development charges. By-laws 19-095 and 19-096 impose City-wide development charges for municipal services.
In addition to the City-wide development charges, the City imposes area-specific development charges for some sanitary trunk sewers, stormwater facilities, and servicing and planning studies in specific planning areas through By-laws 17-072 to 17-079.
