The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) will be revising the timing of when Parkland Development Cost Charges are collected starting December 5, 2024. Parkland development cost charges support the acquisition and development of Electoral Area parks and trails.
“As our population continues to grow, we need to ensure we continue to meet the demand of residents for greenspaces in the Electoral Areas,” states Mark Harrison, Manager of Parks. “By collecting all development cost charges at the time of the building permit, we are ensuring consistency in cost charge collection. This is not a new charge, but rather a shift as to when some of the charges are collected. Park development cost charges are an important source of park funding and ensures that developers adding new accommodations are equitably helping to fund our greenspaces.”
Beginning December 5, 2024, Parkland Development Cost Charges will be collected for each new dwelling at the time of building permit issuance.
| Type of Development | Rate | Unit | When payable |
| Single residential | $1,417.63 | Per dwelling unit | Building Permit |
| Multi-residential | $1,181.36 | Per dwelling unit | Building Permit |
| Tourist Accommodation | $212.64 | Per bedroom | Building Permit |
