By-Law 2025-094
Being a By-Law to Amend By-Law 2025-069 to Establish, Ratify and Impose Fees and Charges for
Goods and Services Provided By the Municipality of Brockton.
Whereas the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25, Section 391(1) authorizes a municipality to impose

b)
for costs payable by it for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of any other
municipality or any local board; and
c)
for the use of its property including property under its control.
And Whereas Municipal Councils have the authority to establish rates and fees under various Acts, and
the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Brockton deems it expedient to pass a by-law
establishing certain fees and charges;
And Whereas the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25, Section 398 (2) authorizes the treasurer of a local
municipality to add fees and charges imposed by the municipality or local board, to the tax roll for the real
property for which the owner or owners are responsible for paying the fees and charges;
And Whereas the Corporation of the Municipality of Brockton enacted By-Law 2025-069 establishing,
ratifying, and imposing 2026 fees and charges for goods and services provided by the Municipality of
Brockton;
And Whereas the Corporation of the Municipality of Brockton deems it expedient to amend By-Law 2025-
069 on August 26, 2025;
Now Therefore the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Brockton enacts as follows;
1.0
That The Corporation of the Municipality of Brockton Council hereby amends Schedule "B" being
the Planning and Development rates and fees, and Schedule "C" being the Building Permit rates
and fees to the 2026 Fees and Charges By-Law attached hereto and forming an integral part of
this By-Law.
2.0
This By-Law shall come into full force and effect upon final passage.
3.0
That By-Law 2025-069 be hereby amended.
4.0
