Development Charges

Under the Development Charges Act, 1997 and associated regulations, a Development Charges By-law expires five years after the day it comes into force, unless it specifies an earlier expiry date or is repealed sooner. As such, the City of Burlington's By-law 49-2009 expired on July 1, 2014 and the new By-law 46-2014 came into effect.

The 2014 City of Burlington Development Charges Update Process (PDF) report (F-49-12), approved by Council on Jan. 28, 2013, outlines the process to update By-law 49-2009 and related policies.
