New Processes for Deferred Development Charges

Effective November 3, 2025, the Ontario Building Code has been amended to support new policies under the Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025 (Bill 17) 

These changes impact the timing and process for payment of development charges on non-rental residential developments within the city of Barrie.  

Our Development Charges Building Services Information Sheet summarizes major updates for residents, builders, and industry stakeholders.
