User Fee Study community meeting and online engagement

Notice

The Town of Milton is undergoing a comprehensive review and analysis of its user fees, excluding recreation and transit. The study includes fees associated with development application and approval processing, imposed under the Planning Act, Building Code Act, and Municipal Act.

Community engagement

The Town is seeking input from the community and stakeholders on the proposed changes to these fees. A virtual community meeting will be held on July 20, 2022 at 2 p.m. At the meeting, a presentation will be given outlining the proposed changes to fees and opportunities will be provided for feedback and input. To attend the meeting, you must register, a link will be provided upon registration.

In addition, the public is encouraged to share comments and feedback on Let’s Talk Milton from July 20 to Aug. 10, 2022. A statutory public meeting and Council consideration of the fees will take place at the Sept. 12, 2022 Milton Council meeting.

What are user fees?

User fees are charged to users for Town services to cover part, or all, of the cost of providing these services. A primary principle followed by the Town in setting user fees is that those who benefit from a service should contribute to the cost of that service. In many cases, the Town’s user fees are set to recover the full cost of providing the applicable service.
