Development Charges

After more than two years spent consulting with the business community, residents and other stakeholders, the City of Brandon Council adopted a Development Charges By-law to assist in funding the infrastructure required for Brandon's future growth. Details of the by-law include:

• Development charge rates, included in Schedule B of the By-law, are updated annually in accordance with Statistic Canada’s Consumer Price Index (Manitoba)
• Current rates are referenced in the annual City of Brandon Fee Schedule By-law 
• The rates differ based on the type of use and where the development occurs
• Building permit submissions in areas with previously executed development agreements are exempt from the development charges by-law until January 1, 2022 
•  Amended Development Charges Standard Operating Procedure (640 KB)
• Reductions may apply when redevelopment occurs (e.g. demolishing a house and building a duplex)
