Full text
The provision of infrastructure (particularly road infrastructure) is a prerequisite for a plot of land to be suitable for development.
Once the development work has been completed, the local authority will levy a development charge on the owners of the developed plots within a four-year assessment period, based on the actual costs incurred.
Required documents
The development charge is calculated by the relevant local authority and determined by official notice, without – as a rule – the involvement of the landowner liable for the charge being required.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite for levying a development contribution is the adoption of a municipal development contribution by-law.
Costs (fees, expenses, etc.)
The notice of development contribution is issued free of charge.
Procedure
The development charge is levied within a four-year assessment period following completion of the development works. It is payable upon notification of the development charge notice.
Legal remedy
The notice of infrastructure contribution may be challenged by lodging an appeal.
