Sarnia City Council removes phase-in period for development charge increases, raising costs for single/semi-detached homes in Development Area 2.

Sarnia City Council has removed the phase-in period for development charge increases, which were set to rise 5% annually until 2028. This means development charges for single and semi-detached homes in Development Area 2 will rise from $34,732 to $43,415 from January 1, 2025. The decision aims to fund city infrastructure projects but has raised concerns that the increased costs could slow development in the area.
