Paying for City facilities to serve a growing population
As Vancouver grows, increased demand is placed on City facilities such as parks, libraries, childcare facilities, cultural facilities and community centres. To address these needs arising from new growth, the City of Vancouver relies on a variety of financing tools: chiefly, the capital plan, supported by property taxes and revenues from new developments.
This website provides information on city-wide charges on, and contributions from, new development, namely Development Cost Levies (DCLs) and Community Amenity Contributions (CACs).
