Milton's New Community Benefits Charge By-law Is Now in Effect — Appeal Deadline Is June 22

Milton property developers and landowners have until June 22, 2026 to file an appeal against the Town of Milton's newly passed Community Benefits Charge By-law. The Town of Milton passed By-law No. 042-2026 on May 11, 2026, and the formal Notice of Passing has now been issued.

What Is a Community Benefits Charge

The Community Benefits Charge is a tool available to Ontario municipalities under the Planning Act that allows towns to collect a percentage of land value from development applications to fund community infrastructure and services. Applicable developments are required to contribute to community needs generated by growth, separate from standard development charges.

Appeal Deadline: June 22, 2026

For anyone wishing to appeal the by-law, the deadline is June 22, 2026. Appeals must follow the process set out in the Planning Act and would be directed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Those who may be affected are advised to review the notice carefully and seek independent legal advice if needed.

Full details of the by-law and the Notice of Passing are available on the Town of Milton's official website.
