Development Charges

2022 Background Study

On Tuesday, November 22, 2022, at 6:00 pm, Town of St. Marys Council held a public meeting, pursuant to section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended, to present and obtain public input on the municipality’s proposed development charges (D.C.) by-law and underlying background study.

Development Charges Background Study 2022

On November 28, 2022, the Province of Ontario passed Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022. This new bill implemented several changes to the Development Charges Act. The following addendum report provides for the changes required as part of the Bill 23 to the background study, proposed development charges, and draft by-law. Town Council will considered the amended by-law at their meeting on December 13, 2022.

Addendum Report

The Council of The Corporation of the Town of St. Marys passed Development Charge By-law 106-2022 on December 13, 2022, under Section 2 of the Development Charges Act, 1997, S.O., 1997, c. 27, as amended.

NOTICE of passing of Development Charges By-Law

To request a copy of the Development Charges flyer, please email the Treasurer. 

DC by-law Amendment

The Town of St. Marys imposes development charges (D.C.s) to recover capital costs arising from the increase in needs for services related to growth. The Town’s D.C.s came into effect on January 1, 2023, and are imposed through by-law 106-2022. The basis for the calculations and policies of the Town’s existing D.C.s are documented in the Town of St. Marys Development Charge Background Study dated October 11, 2022, as amended by the Addendum to the October 11, 2022 Development Charges Background Study, dated December 6, 2022.

The purpose of this report is to update the current D.C. by-law to amend the expiry clause to correct a clerical error. Council will hold a public meeting on March 12, 2024 on this matter.
