Development Charges Act, 1997

The City of Hamilton's fact sheet on development charges written for residents rather than applicants, laid out as a series of questions. It explains what development charges are and what infrastructure they fund, then lists the amendments the city was considering — pausing automatic annual increases, extending the rate window from six to twelve months, holding the downtown residential and non-manufacturing industrial discounts, one apartment rate regardless of bedrooms, and a ten-year demolition credit. It names the two May 2025 industry workshops held.

What it covers

  • What are development charges (DCs)?
  • What changes are being considered?
  • Why are they important?
  • Why is the city reviewing the DC by-law?
  • Who has been consulted on these changes to-date?
  • How could this impact residents?
