The City of Hamilton's development charges pamphlet for rates effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, rewritten in plain language and running to thirteen pages. It separates residential and non-residential charges, each with its own rate table by unit type or by square foot and a bulleted list of reductions — temporary partial exemptions, non-profit housing, downtown CIPA and rental-housing reductions among them. Figures map the sewer system areas, the downtown CIPA and its height restrictions, Dundas/Waterdown and urban area A.
