2025 Development Charges By-laws

Mississippi Mills follows the principal that growth should pay for growth. As a result, new development projects are required to pay Development Charges to off set the costs of expansions and upgrades to municipal services, parks and institutions to accommodate more residents in our community.

Development Charges are calculated and payable at the time a Building Permit is issued and are subject to a set fee established at the beginning of each year. Charges to both the local municipality and County of Lanark are applicable.

Development charges are adjusted annually on January 1^st of each year, in accordance with the Statistics Canada Non-residential Building Construction Price Index for Ottawa-Gatineau. The following rates are applicable as of June 18, 2025:
