Development Charges

Development charges are collected to help pay the cost of infrastructure required to provide municipal services for new development such as roads, fire protection, indoor and outdoor recreation services, library and administrative services.

In the Township of Wainfleet, there are three applicable development charges – Township of Wainfleet development charges, Region of Niagara development charges and school board development charges. The Building Department will calculate the development charges applicable to your project and notify you of the amount due. Development charges are due upon issuance of a building permit.

 Township of Wainfleet Development Charges

Please see below for the current charges and information of the background study and by-law. On the 27th day of July, 2021 the Council of the Township of Wainfleet passed Development Charges By-law No. 025-2021.

In accordance with the Township's 2016 development charges by-law, development charges were split into two categories based on whether your property is considered a lot of record:

  1. If your property existed as of August 2, 2016, it was subject to a 50% reduction in development charges.
  2. If your property was created after August 2, 2016 (through a severance application), then it was subject to the full development charge.

Please see the Township of Wainfleet Development Charges pamphlet for these historical charges.
