Committee approves $4,700-$6,200 hike in fees on new homes built in Ottawa

Building a new home in the City of Ottawa will cost homebuyers an extra $4,700 to $6,200 in fees, as the city increases charges to help pay for new roads, water and sewer infrastructure, transit and parks.

The original plan called for a $12,000 increase in development charges, but staff say the updated increase of $4,700 and $6,200 is due to a recalculation of the number of homes expected to be built in Ottawa. The co-founder of Making Housing Affordable told the committee the higher fees could create a "bigger hole" in Ottawa's budget.
