Whereas if a local government pays all or part of the costs of excess or extended services road, water, sanitary or storm drainage systems it may, under Local Government Act LGA s. 5083, recover its costs through latecomer charges against owners of land that is to be subdivided or developed; And whereas the Land Title and Survey Authority LTSA does not currently have authority to register Notices of Excess or Extended Services Agreements against property title and does not accept such notices, creating risk for property developers or purchasers and for local governments: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request that the Province amend the Local Government Act to give the Land Title and Survey Authority statutory authority to accept Notices of Excessive or Extended Services Agreements also known as Latecomer Agreements for registration on property title.
