Off-site levies

Off-site levies are charges established by a municipal bylaw (Parkland County Bylaw No. 2015-07) that help pay for roads and utilities that are outside (off-site) of a development or subdivision.

 

In Parkland County, off-site levies apply to parts of the land in and adjacent to:

  • Acheson Business Park area
  • Fifth Meridian Business Park area
  • Big Lake residential area north of Highway 16Country residential areas

 

The Municipal Government Act (MGA) allows municipalities to regulate development by setting conditions that must be satisfied before development begins. These conditions may include fees and charges related to funding new or expanded infrastructure or facilities such as:

  • storage, transmission, treatment or supply of water;
  • treatment, movement or disposal of sanitary sewage;
  • storm sewer transmission or drainage facilities;
  • roads required for or impacted by a subdivision or development; and
  • land required for any of the above described facilities.

Payment of off-site levies

  • Off-site levies are collected once for each infrastructure type (Transportation, Water, Sanitary, and Stormwater systems) as described in Section 648(2) of the Municipal Government Act.
  • The requirement to pay off-site levies is triggered through application for subdivision or development permit.
  • If a development or subdivision is, in the opinion of the County, likely not to place a burden on the water, and/or sanitary, and/or storm water off-site infrastructure then the development or subdivision may, subject to the approved procedures, be considered exempt from off-site levy assessment and payment obligation.
  • The levies must be paid upon the execution of a development agreement, or prior to the commencement of development, or no later than the endorsement of a survey plan for registration at Land Titles.
