Development Cost Charges

Development Cost Charges (DCCs) are a one-time charge levied to a property for the purpose of providing funds that assist the City to pay 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.

DCCs collected by the City of Vernon include municipal DCCs and regional DCCs.
