New Development Cost Charges (DCC) Best Practices Guide Now Available
The Province of BC has released a new Development Cost Charges (DCC) Best Practices Guide to help local governments streamline how they create and manage DCC bylaws. Built in collaboration with local governments and the development community, the guide encourages standard practices while allowing flexibility for unique local needs. It also offers clear, practical advice on how to calculate and administer DCCs using industry best practices.
For elected officials, a companion guide provides a quick overview of key legislative requirements and best practices. There’s also a new Amenity Cost Charges (ACC) Best Practices Guide focused specifically on amenity-related charges.
By adopting the recommended practices, local governments can simplify the provincial review process and build greater transparency and trust with the development community.
