Development Charges

Development charges are fees collected from developers to help pay for the cost of infrastructure required to provide municipal services to new development, such as roads, transit, water and sewer infrastructure, community centres and fire and police facilities.

2024 Development Charges Background Study

The 2024 Town of Ingersoll Development Charge Background Study has been completed in compliance with the provisions of the Development Charges Act, S.O. 1997(DCA) incorporating Provincial changes to the DCA through Bill 185, Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, effective June 6, 2024.

Every five years, the Town conducts a development charges background study to forecast the town’s future residential and non-residential growth to determine infrastructure needs and costs. This information is used to calculate the amount of money that new development needs to pay in order to cover new infrastructure and services.

The 2024 Development Charges (D.C.) Background Study was prepared by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. and serves as the foundation for the development charge rates adopted by the Town on June 10, 2024, through By-law 24-5323.
