The Township of Springwater charges user fees for a variety of services. Most services are covered through the collection of property taxes, however, in some cases we charge a direct user fee to those benefitting from the services.

In 2022, the Township retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. to complete a review of the Township’s user fees to determine the full cost of services provided and recommend a fee structure that would balance the Township’s cost recovery and decrease the tax burden while also considering affordability and competitiveness of the market.  

The Township will hold an information session and public consultation, February 29, 2024 at 6:30 pm at the Township Administration Centre to seek feedback from residents and stakeholders regarding the Fees and Charges Study relating to the following:

• Municipal Law Enforcement
• Fire and Emergency Services
• Planning and Development
• Parkland Dedication
• Public Works
• Cemeteries
• General Administrative Fees

* Please note that the Building Department, Recreation, Parks & Facility user fees are not included in this consultation. The Recreation, Parks and Facility users fees consultation will take place separately at a future date.
