Development Cost Charge Program

Metro Vancouver is revising DCCs for regional water and liquid waste infrastructure, and proposing the introduction of a DCC for regional parkland acquisition.

In early 2022, Metro Vancouver’s Board Chair formed a Financial Plan Task Force to review the five-year financial plan and find ways to reduce potential costs to residents over the next four years. Through the process, Metro Vancouver reviewed programs and projects, and assessed risks to adjusting projects currently identified in the five-year plan. Recognizing that a significant portion of Metro Vancouver’s capital plan involves constructing larger or new infrastructure to accommodate new buildings and growth in the region, the Metro Vancouver Board endorsed moving to a DCC one-per-cent assist factor.

Opportunities to provide feedback is available until September 29, 2023.

Metro Vancouver is committed to engaging residents and businesses who may be impacted by or have an interest in the proposed development cost charge revisions.
