Milton is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada. As a result, we need to spend time planning for new development. All new developments must follow the policies and regulations set out in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. If a development does not comply with these policies and regulations, a development application is required.
Development applications and planning projects
It's important to submit a development application and site plan for new development in Milton. Review the application process and make sure you include all necessary drawings with your application.
Development charges
Development charges are collected to provide funds to allow Milton to expand municipal services such as roads and fire, transit and community services to all new developments. Review Milton’s Development Charge Pamphlet and Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
Milton is currently undertaking an update to the Town’s Development Charges Background Studies and By-laws.
