The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) introduced the mandatory phase-in of development charge rates over five years for development charge by-laws passed on or after January 1, 2022. The Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 (Bill 185) which received Royal Assent on June 6, eliminates the five-year phase-in of development charge rates. The purpose of the amending by-law is to remove the development charge phase-in provisions in Regional Development Charge By-law #42-2023 and implement the full calculated rates as of July 1, 2024.
The Report (No. 2024-F-16) is available on the Region’s website at Events Calendar - Region of Durham (refer to the June 11, 2024 Finance and Administration Committee agenda).
