Report Overview
In June 2023, Council approved report FSD-029-23, which began the process of
consolidating user fees into one by-law, an efficient way to incorporate inflationary factors
and adopt new fees in a consistent manner. The Deputy CAO/Treasurer has the authority to
approve annual changes to existing fees in the User Fee By-law up to the CPI increase or
$5, whichever is greater. These most recent changes took effect January 1, 2025.
This report adds new fees and highlights administrative changes to the User Fee By -law,
which will take effect July 1, 2025. This requires Council approval. Once these new fees are
added to the Fee Schedule, they will also be subject to the annual CPI/$5 increase to be
approved by the Deputy CAO/Treasurer
1. Background
1.1 The Municipal Act, 2001 allows the Municipality to charge user fees for services that
are provided to individuals. The user fee must be provided for in a by-law approved by
Council.
1.2 The planned 2026 opening of the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre h as resulted in
proposed new fees.
1.3 Some minor administrative changes are being proposed to ensure consistency and to
remove fees that no longer apply to the Municipality due to changes in legislation,
process changes, etc.
1.4 Increasing care and housing fees are the drivers behind the proposed new fees from
the Animal Services Division of the Legislative Services Department.
1.5 The Treasurer has directed staff to remove HST from the user fee schedules. A note
will be added to advise residents that fees are subject to HST where applicable. This
follows common practice in municipalities and reflects the fact that HST is not a fee
charged by the Municipality. Changes to HST applicability and rates are outside the
control of the Municipality and may change at any time , removing them from the By-law
schedules provides flexibility if there are changes to HST.

Report FSD-019-25
2. Updates to Existing Fees/Administrative Changes
Planning and Infrastructure Services
2.1 Remove Commissioning Fees from Schedule E; these fees are noted in Schedule A -
General Fees. As this service is offered by multiple departments, this will ensure
consistency in the fee charged across the organization
2.2 Pre-consultation Fees: Stage 2 – Technical Proposal Review fee to be removed from
Schedule E. This is no longer applicable to the Municipality.
2.3 Minor site plans in the Oak Ridges Moraine to be removed from Schedule E.
2.4 Additional Dwelling Unit: Registration for Applications submitted prior to January 1,
2015 fee to be moved to Publications section in Schedule E.
2.5 Minor revisions to the notes and descriptions of application fees to add clarity as to
when the fees apply.
2.6 Remove and condense the duplication of the minor pre-consultation fee so that one fee
captures all minor pre-consultation fees, including the land division pre-application
meeting. Staff propose a $15 increase to provide consistency among all similar fees.
2.7 Separate the Deed Stamping Fee from the Land Division Application fee to avoid a
future refund if the applicant does not complete the land division process. The deed
stamping payment will now be collected at the end of the land division process for any
future applications. The applicant will not have to pay the deed stamping fee again
where the fee was already collected as a combined fee between 2024 to when this By-
law is in effect.
2.8 In addition, Clarington staff and Hemson Consulting are undertaking a comprehensive
review of Planning and Infrastructure fees to ensure full cost recovery. A report and by-
law amendment are targeted for General Government Committee in the Fall.
Public Services – Community Services Division
2.9 Remove the following fees due to the decommissioning of the Bowmanville Indoor
Soccer building:
2.9.1. Turf Full Field Discount
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report FSD-019-25
2.9.2. Turf Full Field Non-Prime
2.9.3. Turf Full Field Prime Time
2.9.4. Turf Half Field Discount
2.9.5. Turf Half Field Non-Prime Time
2.9.6. Turf Field Prime Time
2.10 Staff recommend updating the existing Swim/Skate drop-in options, 10-ticket passes,
group entry, and annual membership to include access to the South Bowmanville
Recreation Complex (SBRC) walking track during designated times. The updated
charge name and descriptions would be revised to “Swim/Skate/Walk” with no changes
to the existing fees. Including this update in the 2025 rates and fees ensures essential
data is captured to inform the SBRC operational plan and budget. While these
adjustments will not take effect until 2026, when the facility becomes operational, their
early inclusion supports financial planning and strategic decision -making to ensure the
SBRC meets community needs upon opening.
Transitioning youth development groups to the correct ice rental rate
2.11 Historically, youth development programs were charged the lowest available rate under
the previous ice rental structure. When the current rate structure was introduced, which
includes Resident, Community, and Commercial rates, it was recognized that these
programs would face a significant fee increase. To ease this transition, a phased -in
approach was implemented, gradually moving these groups to the Resident Rate. As of
January 1, 2026, these groups will reach the Resident Rate. However, this transition
did not fully align these groups with the correct rate category. As businesses operating
for profit, they should be classified under the Commercial Rate (Resident Rate plus
20% surcharge). To complete this transition while ensuring a manageable fee increase ,
staff recommend a continued phased-in approach:
2.11.1. January 1, 2027: Annual CPI increase plus additional ~10% increase toward
the Commercial Rate
2.11.2. January 1, 2028: Annual CPI increase plus additional ~10% increase to fully
align with the Commercial Rate
2.12 This adjustment applies only to existing youth development groups currently on the
phased-in plan. Any new groups entering the system will be required to pay the correct
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report FSD-019-25
Commercial Rate upfront. A clear communication plan will be developed to inform
affected groups, manage expectations, and mitigate concerns.
Public Services – Public Works Division
2.13 Commemorative Tree and Bench program to be removed from the User Fee
schedules. Since these are donations, they should only be posted on the Municipal
website, not in the User Fee By-law.
2.14 Staff propose an increase to the minimum labour requirement in the Incident Response
category from 1 hour to 3 hours. This recommendation is based on a continuous
improvement cost recovery project:
Incident Response Fee Unit
Response to incident clean up on
municipal roadway and right of

2.15 Staff recommend updating the reference from “Current MTO Rate” to “Current MTO
Ontario Provincial Standard Specification Rate” to provide greater clarity in the Incident
Response category.
Public Services - Emergency Services Division
2.16 Staff recommend increasing the base rate for 1 hour of services offered by a Fire
Prevention Inspector to $77.47. The calculation for the fee will be: Time required to
complete the task x $77.47.
3. New Fees
Legislative Services – Animal Services Division
3.1 Currently, small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and small birds are
adopted out with a voluntary donation from the adopter rather than a fee. This has most
often worked against the shelter – the donation is quite low compared to the cost of
housing the animal.
3.2 Costs are rising for supplies for these types of animals. They are often harder to
rehome, so their stays become longer. While we d on’t get many small animals, they
can be expensive to house.
3.3 Nearby municipalities vary in price for the adoption of small mammals and birds. See
below for a comparison.
3.4 Clarington Animal Shelter is the only area shelter that does not charge a set fee.
Municipality Cost
Pickering Rabbit - $56.50
Other - variable
Oshawa $40 + HST
Whitby $102 + HST
Kawartha Lakes (Humane Society) Rabbits (sterilized) - $150

Rabbits and guinea pigs - $25
Rats/Hamsters - $15
Uxbridge – Scugog $55
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report FSD-019-25
3.5 Animal Services Division Staff are recommending the following additions to the User
Fee By-law within Schedule B:
3.5.1. $39.82 for rabbits
3.5.2. $22.12 for guinea pigs and other small mammals.
3.6 There are no plans to sterilize rabbits or other small mammals at this time, as the
procedure requires a specialized veterinarian and is cost prohibitive.
Legislative Services – Clerks Division
Completion of Municipal Information Form
3.7 The Municipal Clerk signs off on Municipal Information forms, which indicate whether
the area in which the premises will be located is “wet”, “damp” or “dry” (in relation to the
sale of liquor) and notes if there are any specific concerns regarding zoning or non-
compliance for the purpose of obtaining a liquor sales licence from the Alcohol and
Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The Clerk’s office confirms there are no
Zoning or outstanding Municipal Law Enforcement Concerns and then the form as
signed off by the Municipal Clerk.
3.8 Currently Clarington signs off on Municipal Information Forms free of charge. The
Clerk’s Division currently receives 5 to 10 Municipal Information Forms per year. Based
on a review of comparator municipalities, the Clerk’s Division Staff recommend adding
a new fee of $50.00 + HST for completion of the form.
Declaration of Municipally Significant Events
3.9 Council has delegated the authority to the Municipal Clerk to designate a “Public Event”
an event of municipal for the purpose of obtaining a Special Occasion Permit through
the AGCO. Examples of this type of event include: Spartan Race, Holiday in the Hills,
Community Dances or Concerts The Clerk’s office confirms the event qualifies as
Municipally Significant in accordance with the criteria set out in Resolution #GPA -429-
12 arising from Report CLD-028-12, which includes criteria for events, and provides a
letter to the applicant.
3.10 Currently, Clarington prepares these letters free of charge. The Clerk’s Division
currently receives 10 to 15 of these requests per year. Based on a review of
comparator municipalities, the Clerk’s Division Staff recommend adding a new fee of
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report FSD-019-25
$50.00 + HST for completion of the form. Municipality of Clarington events would be
exempt from this fee.

Legislative Services – Municipal Law Enforcement Division
3.12 Staff recommend introducing at 25% administrative fee to recoup expenses incurred to
arrange and execute required work undertaken to comply with Orders issued pursuant
to the Site Alteration By-law 2024-017 and the Property Standards By-law 2007-070.
3.13 The administrative fee is intended to offset additional expenses related to procurement,
scheduling, site attendance, and the clerical resources necessary for processing
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report FSD-019-25
invoices. The proposed fee is consistent with the existing administrative charge
outlined in the Boulevard By-law 2013-066.
Planning and Infrastructure Services
3.14 Staff recommend introducing a Deeming By-law application fee for applications that
propose to deem all or parts of registered plans of subdivision not to be part of a plan of
subdivision if they were registered for eight (8) years or more under Subsection 50(4) of
the Planning Act. This is not a common Planning Act Application and histo rically
Clarington has used the exemption from Part Lot Control application fee for these types
of applications as the process is similar and more of a legal and technical matter to
rectify or change parcel fabric within a plan of subdivision, such as to b e able to merge
abutting lots.
Public Services – Community Services Division
3.15 Staff recommend the addition of new permit fees at the South Bowmanville Recreation
Complex (SBRC). The proposed inclusion of these fees in the 2025 update allows
sport partners to review and budget accordingly before submitting allocation requests
for the new facility. Staff propose holding these rates for the 2026 operational year.
Description of Service Fee Unit
Quarter Field Indoor Turf Prime $180.00 Per hour
Quarter Field Indoor Turf Non-Prime 136.35 Per hour
Quarter Field Indoor Turf Prime Off-Season 50.00 Per hour
Quarter Field Indoor Turf Non-Prime Off-Season 40.30 Per hour
Full Field Indoor Turf - Tournament 500.00 Per hour
Gymnasium – Category A 85.26 Per hour
3.16 The gymnasium fee structure will be updated to a new naming convention using
Categories A through D. Categories B through D will reflect existing rates, with no
change in pricing. The standard rental of a single gymnasium at SBRC will be included
under Category B (formerly “DHRC – Gymnasium Full”). A new Category A fee is
being introduced to represent the combined rental of both Gymnasiums 1 and 2 at
SBRC.

Report FSD-019-25
3.17 Benchmarked against comparable facilities and reflecting the operational model of the
former Bowmanville Indoor Soccer full turf field, these fees support similar usage for
comparable pricing, ensuring continuity for user groups. The gymnasium fees are
aligned with the pricing models of existing gymnasium facilities, ensuring consistency
and competitiveness across municipal recreation offerings. Staff also recommend a
reduced hourly tournament rate for full turf rentals when booked for 5 or more
consecutive hours during the on-season. This fee supports sport tourism, which brings
economic benefits to the community and promotes local business engagement.
Whirlpool add-on fee for pool rentals
3.18 Staff recommend the addition of a whirlpool add-on fee for pool rentals. This fee
covers additional costs for maintenance and operation while enhancing rental offerings
to customers:
Description of Service Fee Unit
Whirlpool Add-On $30.00 Per hour
Stage rentals, garbage bins, and picnic tables (fields section)
3.19 The stage rental fees are intended to recover costs associated with maintenance and
operation, including inspection and staffing requirements, which have increased
significantly in recent years. Stage rental staffing costs will be calculated based on the
actual staffing required during event times. The proposed stage fees will replace the
former hourly stage fees. For picnic tables and garbage bins, delivery fees follow a cost
recovery model, addressing staff time for delivery and pick-up.
3.20 Staff recommend that the new supply fees for events be approved as part of the July
1st update, but not take effect until January 1, 2026. Delaying implementation ensures
a smoother transition, as introducing these changes mid-season would be operationally
complex and could create confusion for event organizers.
3.21 These fees will apply to Community Not for Profit Events that have an approved
Special Events application for an event on Municipal Property.

3.22 Staff propose a new rental fee for picnic shelters and gazebos to support cost recovery
for maintenance and repairs. These spaces currently have no rental fee but require
staff time for cleaning, waste removal, and ongoing operational support. The fee is
benchmarked against neighboring municipalities, where similar rentals are charged,
and ensures sustainable management of these amenities.
Description of Service Fee Unit
Picnic Shelter / Gazebo $10.00 Per hour
Swim and Skate sponsorship fee
3.23 A flat sponsorship fee of $600 per event is recommended and based on the average
potential revenue across all municipal recreation facilities. This was calculated by
multiplying each facility’s capacity by the current Youth Drop -In rate to estimate event
revenue and then averaging those totals to arrive at a consistent rate. Formalizing this
fee supports transparency and simplifies administration. Sponsorships help offset
operational costs and ensure continued community access to affordable drop -in
recreation opportunities.

Note 1: Discounts do not apply where rates have already been discounted.
Note 2: A small number of groups offering youth development programs were
previously charged the lowest available ice rental fee. When the current rate structure
was introduced, these groups were placed on a phased-in plan to gradually move them
to the Resident Rate, minimizing sudden increases. As of January 1, 2026, they will
reach the Resident Rate. However, as for-profit businesses, the appropriate
classification is the Commercial Rate (Resident Rate +20%). To complete the transition,
staff recommend a continued phased approach: ~10% + CPI in 2027 and again in 2 028.
New for-profit groups will be charged the full Commercial Rate from the outset.
