flag Cornwall City Council delays decision on lowering home development fees due to revenue concerns.

flag Cornwall City Council postponed deciding on a proposal to temporarily cut development charges for single- and semi-detached homes from $16,367 to $5,000 starting January 1, 2026, citing concerns over potential impacts on city revenue and tax rates. flag The move aims to address a sharp decline in new home permits—only 12 single-family and seven semi-detached units approved since May 2025. flag Council members requested more data, including regional comparisons and a five-year housing trend analysis, before acting. flag Ontario’s Bill 17, which delays payment until occupancy, is already reducing upfront costs for builders. flag The council will delay a final decision to allow staff to gather additional information.
