Development Charges

Development charges provide a source of funding for future infrastructure projects that will support residential and non-residential developments within the City of Woodstock and the County of Oxford.

Hemson Consulting Ltd. was retained by the City of Woodstock in April 2018 to complete a Development Charges (DC) Background Study. This Background Study provides the basis and background to update the City's Development Charges to accordingly reflect the servicing needs of new development in the City. Information about how the City determines these rates and notices related to the DC By-law may be found on the City's Municipal Studies and Plans webpage.

Development Charges Fees - Effective June 13, 2025
