The Town of Whitby has been reviewing and updating their Development Charge Bylaw and has just released the new proposed rates, which can be found here.

The new rate of $35,815 per single detached represent a 47% ($11,397) increase over their current rate of $24,418.

However, when the Town of Whitby initially released their proposed rates, the charge for a single detached was proposed to be $43,366, a $19,948 increase.  DRHBA has been working with a stakeholder group for several months, and together with consultants, this work has reduced the proposed new rate by $7,551.

The draft DC bylaw is scheduled to be brought to council on Monday, May 17, 2021.
