Development charges help finance the capital infrastructure required to support growth and development within the municipality.
The information provided on this page is intended as a guide only. Interested parties should review the approved by-law and consult with municipal staff to determine the charges that may apply to specific development proposals.
Council enacted Development Charges By-law 2021-26 on May 4, 2021.
The by-law imposes development charges on lands developed within the City of Pembroke, except where exemptions are provided under the Development Charges Act, 1997 and within the by-law itself.
