Off-site levies are fees developers pay to the City when they are building new neighbourhoods. Off-site levies are paid by developers as a condition of subdivision approval. They are not paid by homeowners or future home buyers. Under Section 648 of the Municipal Government Act RSA 2000, Chapter M-26, as amended, council may adopt a bylaw to establish off-site levies to be used to pay for all or part of the capital cost of any of the following:
- new or expanded facilities for the storage, transmission, treatment or supplying of water;
- new or expanded facilities for the treatment, movement or disposal of sanitary sewage;
- new or expanded roads required for or impacted by a subdivision or development;
- new or expanded fire hall facilities;
- land required for or in connection with any of the afore mentioned facilities.
