Whereas:

The City is a single-tier municipality incorporated pursuant to an order made under section 25.2 of the Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. M.45.

The powers of a municipality must be exercised by its council (Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25 (the Municipal Act, 2001"), s. 5 (1)).

A municipal power must be exercised by bylaw unless the municipality is specifically authorized to do otherwise (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 5 (3)).

A bylaw respecting a matter may:

  1. regulate or prohibit respecting the matter;
  2. require persons to do things respecting the matter; and
  3. provide for a system of licences respecting the matter (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 8 (3)).

A single tier municipality may provide any service or thing that the municipality considers necessary or desirable for the public (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 10 (1).

A single-tier municipality may pass bylaws respecting:

  1. economic, social and environmental well-being of the municipality, including respecting climate change;
  2. health, safety and well-being of persons;
  3. protection of persons and property, including consumer protection;
  4. structures, including fences and signs; and
  5. business licensing (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 10 (2)).

A municipality may delegate its powers and duties under the Municipal Act, 2001 to a person or body subject to the restrictions set out in Part II of the Municipal Act, 2001 (s. 23.1 (1)).

Sections 9, 10 and 11 of the Municipal Act, 2001 authorize a municipality to impose fees on persons,

  1. for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of it;
  2. for costs payable by it for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of any other municipality or any local board; and
  3. for the use of its property including property under its control (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 391 (1)).

A municipality may impose a fee for capital costs related to services or activities on persons not receiving an immediate benefit from the services or activities but who will receive a benefit at some later point in time (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 391 (2)).

The costs included in a fee may include costs incurred by the municipality related to administration, enforcement and the establishment, acquisition and replacement of capital assets (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 391 (3)).

The City incurs additional costs related to administration and enforcement when fees are due and unpaid.

Fees imposed by a municipality on a person constitute a debt of the person to the municipality (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 398 (1)).

The treasurer of a municipality may add fees imposed by the municipality to the tax roll for the following property in the municipality and collect them in the same manner as municipal taxes:

  1. in the case of fees for the supply of a service or thing to a property, the property to which the service or thing was supplied; and
  2. in all other cases, any property for which all of the owners are responsible for paying the fees (Municipal Act, 2001, s. 398 (2)).

The council of a municipality, by bylaw, may establish a tariff of fees for the processing of applications made in respect of applications made in respect of planning matters, which tariff must be designed to meet only the anticipated costs to the municipality or to a

committee of adjustment or land division committee constituted by the council of the municipality or to the planning board in respect of the procession of each type of application provided for in the tariff (Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, s. 69 (1)).

The council of a municipality may pass bylaws applicable to the matters for which and in the area in which the municipality has jurisdiction for the enforcement of the Building Code Act requiring the payment of fees and prescribing the amount of the fees:

  1. on the application for and on issuance of permits;
  2. for maintenance inspections; and
  3. for providing documentation, records or other information.

The council of a municipality may by bylaw fix its reasonable administrative fees to be paid to the municipality in relation to proceedings under the Line Fences Act (Line Fences Act, s. 17).
