can the town charge 10yrs interest on a loan for a water & sewer connection that is paid within 1 year?

Question

well where I live (the town of Wasaga Beach) that is exactly what they are doing ! If anyone knows where I can go for help with this - please tell me.

I was told that "this was their policy" and there was nothing they could do for me.

Answer 1

Of course not. If you decide to pay it in one lump sum, that is your choice. The township merely allows interest free payment over a lenghty time span to make the costs bearable for landowners. Your early pay off is a 'gift' to the township.
