Development charges pertaining to lands

bodies: Town of Caledon, Region of Peel (includes
GO Transit), and Boards of Education (Peel
District School Board, Dufferin-Peel
Catholic District School Board). All development charges must be paid at
the Town Hall - Corporate Services Department.
Development charges are a one-time charge.
Therefore, any previous payments will be taken into account. Top-ups may be
required to bring the total payable up to the current development charge rate.
All development charges must be paid prior
to the issuance of a building permit. Payment will be at the rate in effect at
the date the building permit is issued. Development charges are normally
indexed every six months (Feb. 1st and Aug. 1st) based on Statistics Canada
Indexing.
One cheque may be submitted for all
development charges, made payable to the TOWN OF CALEDON. The Town will forward
the monies slated for the Region of Peel and the Boards of Education.
New Development that replaces previously
existing development may be entitled to a credit against development charges
otherwise payable in the form of a re-development allowance. Allowances are
given in accordance with Town of
Caledon By-Law 2009-090 in recognition of the value of
services provided. Proof of demolition is required before a credit can be
allowed (i.e. demolition permit).
Industrial/Commercial Payment Plan
If the development is 5,000 sq. ft. or
more, then a 5-installment plan may apply. The first installment is payable at
the time of the building permit issuance. Each additional payment is due on the
anniversary date of the payment of the first installment. A deferral agreement is required to cover the
total of the remaining annual installments. These installments are indexed to
the current development charge rate each year and interest on each of the four
further installments shall be calculated from the date of the payment of the
first installment to the date that such installment is paid at the prime
lending rate of the CIBC applied on a month-to-month basis.
Industrial expansions may be entitled to a
development charge reduction, as per Town
of Caledon By-Law 2009-090. Reductions to the Region of Peel development
charge rates may apply, based on Regional services available to the property.
