Wooden house frames under clear blue sky, with scattered construction materials on sandy ground, convey a mood of progress and building.

When new housing is built, municipalities typically charge developers fees to help pay for essential infrastructure like roads, sewers, parks, and community centres. These fees ensure that growth helps fund the cost of growth.


Some propose lowering these fees to encourage more housing construction. However, doing so would shift more of the financial burden onto existing homeowners, through higher property taxes or reduced public services, to cover the infrastructure needed for new developments.


What do you think? Take the Quick Poll.


Should municipalities lower the fees charged to developers, even if it means increasing property taxes to fund the infrastructure needed for new development?
