Development Charges

Development charges are levies against new development to help finance infrastructure and other capital projects required to meet the increased need for services resulting from growth. Development charges help protect existing taxpayers by having growth pay for growth. 

 Kingsville Development Charges

 Development charges will be determined by the Planning and Development Services Department, in accordance with the Development Charge By-Law, based on the plans submitted with your development application.

The authority to collect development charges is contained in the Development Charges Act, 1997.  The Development Charge Background Report provides additional information on how these charges were established.

 In addition to the Kingsville Development Charges, described above, most developments will be subject to development charges imposed by the Greater Essex County District School Board.  Please refer to the Education Development Charge Pamphlet for further details.
