Definition:
Development Cost Levies (DCLs) are fees collected from new development requiring a Building Permit. DCLs help pay for new infrastructure and facilities (e.g. parks, daycare, housing, engineering works) needed to service new development. There are eight DCL By-law districts including a Vancouver DCL By-law which applies to the entire city. Excluded from the Vancouver DCL area are seven area-specific DCL by-law areas as well as eight other areas from which the City has secured public benefits. For more information on DCLs see Information Bulletin No. 1.
