Overview
Haldimand County is reviewing fees related to development applications and services, including Planning Act applications, development agreements, and development review processes. The study aims to create a transparent, sustainable, and defensible fee structure that reflects the cost of delivering municipal planning services, supports legislative requirements, and promotes full cost recovery.
Public engagement
Haldimand County is inviting residents, landowners, businesses, developers, and other interested stakeholders to attend a Virtual Public Open House to learn more about the Planning User Fees Review and provide feedback on preliminary findings.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about the study and its objectives
- Review proposed updates to planning user fees
- Ask questions and engage directly with the project team
- Share feedback on preliminary recommendations
Date: November 10, 2026
Time: 7 to 8:30 p.m.
