PROVINCE OF B.C. — Crews work on a housing project in B.C. A new report shows that Metro Vancouver has some of the highest government fees for developers trying to build housing.
Researchers were assisted by Altus Group in finding out government costs for single-detached homes, row homes, low-rise condos, low-rise rental apartments, highrise condos and highrise rental apartments. For actual dollar amounts, the City of Toronto generally has the highest government charges as a portion of total construction costs. According to the study, government fees impact the cost of construction by as much as 24 per cent. In Vancouver, various charges account for seven to 20 per cent of construction costs.
Once a subdivision agreement is registered, the single detached home tends to be the housing type subject to the lowest government fees.
