The city’s development charges will automatically increase on July 1, and means developers will spend an additional $2,194 per single-family dwelling, for a new total of $24,356
With the city’s development charges scheduled to jump by 9.9 per cent effective July 1, Ward 11 Coun. Bill Leduc said he’d prefer to see a much lower price hike.
Last year, Leduc put forward an unsuccessful motion to limit that year’s increase to 4.4 per cent. He spoke up against this year’s increase as well, but didn’t introduce a motion on Tuesday. The city’s development charges bylaw expires on June 30, 2024, and city administrators are currently reviewing it to draft a recommended replacement for city council consideration.
Development charges are indexed according to the Statistics Canada Quarterly Construction Price Statistics . With no such statistics available for Sudbury, the inflationary change for Ottawa is used. The increase from December 2021 to 2022 was 9.9 per cent, which the city is also ascribing to its development charges increase.
Last year’s development charge increase spurred a debate regarding whether the city’s development charges were unreasonable.
