Education Development Charges By-Law

Education Development Charges are collected by local municipalities on behalf of the Board. There are residential and non-residential education development charge rates on development of all lands within the Region of Peel, unless otherwise stated in the by-law. Education Development Charges are payable at the time of building permit issuance.
