2026 Budget Process: User Fees and Charges By-law

Thank you for joining the conversation regarding the 2026 Budget Process: User Fees and Charges!

The Township of Puslinch (Township) begins its annual Budget process by reviewing and updates its User Fees and Charges By-law.

The Township depends on revenue from property taxes, user fees and charges, grants and other revenue sources to provide quality Township services. User Fees are an important tool for collecting fees directly from the user who is benefitting from a service rather than the service being partially or wholly funded through property taxes. For example, those submitting Planning Act applications to re-zone their property pay an application fee (or user fee) to the Township which funds the processing of their application.
