Good day everyone,
I have just received a "notice of an advance payment on the development contribution" which lists the development costs actually incurred so far that are chargeable: provision costs, road construction, road drainage, and street lighting. The roads are not yet fully developed, hence the advance payment - so far so good. However, the municipality's share is puzzling: 5 percent, according to the development contribution statute.
However, Section 129 of the Building Code states quite clearly (at least to me as a layperson) that municipalities must pay at least 10 percent.
A quick search now shows that some statutes specify 5 percent, but most sources on the subject only refer to the Building Code and assume the 10 percent: Is this a contradiction that should be challenged or have I overlooked something?
Best regards
