Education Development Charges

Education Development Charges (EDCs) are used by school boards to fund site acquisition and other site related costs to accommodate students from new residential development. Residential and non-residential development in the City of Brantford and County of Brant are subject to both EDCs. The local municipality collects EDCs on behalf of school boards at the time of building permit issuance.

The Board currently does not have an EDC by-law for Haldimand or Norfolk Counties.
