To align Parkland County's 2024 Fees and Charges Bylaw with Community Standards Bylaw 2023-19 that was passed by Council under the major bylaw review project that imply penalties to be included in the 2024 Fees and Charges Bylaw 2023-11.
To amend the 2024 Fees and Charges Schedule E.2 and E.5 for Planning & Development Services to include additional changes from the 2023 Fees and Charges.
Summary
Administration conducted a major bylaw review project in 2023. In the fall of 2023, administration presented for Council's approval: Community Standards Bylaw. The bylaw imposes penalties that would be included in the 2024 Fees and Charges Bylaw 2023-11.
By adding the penalties associated with the enforcement of Bylaw, it ensures that penalty amounts are reviewed annually.
