The City of Vernon is lowering the development cost charges (DCCs) for the majority of new developments in the city.
DCCs are a one-time charge levied on a property for the purpose of providing funds to help the city pay the capital costs of providing, constructing, altering or expanding sewage, drainage and highway facilities to service, directly or indirectly, the development for which the charge is being imposed.
DCCs are charged at the subdivision stage when creating new single family lots. DCCs are charged at the building permit stage for any other development type. Applicants should be aware of the DCCs as part of the review of their development plans.
The changes come after a review of the DCC bylaw last year by city staff to confirm works required related to expected growth over the next 20 years.
