Developer fees could add more than $100,000 to price of new homes, CMHC finds

It’s the first time the national housing agency has measured and identified the average cost of development charges in 30 municipalities in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec. The report found the charges that cities impose vary widely across the country.
