Corner plot decision aid

Development initial contributions must be paid per street - for corner plots, usually 2/3 of the shares each - so twice,... therefore higher - but only if these have not yet been settled and fall under initial development.

This is common practice, but not mandatory. It can certainly be handled differently.

Snow removal is only required for sidewalks - then it depends on whether there is one in front of your fence.

That probably depends on the municipality. Our corresponding ordinance states as removal instructions that on streets without sidewalks, a 1-meter wide strip on the street must be cleared. On streets with only one sidewalk, the property owners on both sides must take turns.

However, on our street without a sidewalk, the winter service has always come through so far. Twice I shoveled for nothing. The third time I waited a bit longer.

We also have a corner plot. We are still in the planning phase. Corner plots usually have a building line that must be built on. Since your plot is located in a cul-de-sac, it can of course be different for you. When we bought the plot, we had to pay the development costs calculated according to the plot size, regardless of whether it was a corner plot or not.

has already said it: it depends on the municipality. Play streets, dead-end streets, and side streets in new residential areas are rarely equipped with sidewalks nowadays - nevertheless, as a resident, you have to maintain a passable walkway in front of your property. By the way, the regulation applies not only to shoveling snow but to the entire maintenance of the area in front of your land, including removing weeds, etc.

Development initial fees must be paid per street

... is also an individual regulation of the seller. Often, corner plots are "preferentially" treated, so they only have to pay for their access side; everything else is distributed among all properties.
