# Revision of Development Charge Rates - **Source:** Ministry of National Development - **Published:** 2019-08-30T09:00:00.000Z - **Author:** Ministry of National Development - **Original:** https://www.mnd.gov.sg/newsroom/press-releases/view/revision-of-development-charge-rates-2019 - **Topics:** Private Residential ## Featured rationale The divergent revisions may raise development costs for affected commercial projects while modestly improving feasibility for non-landed residential development in selected sectors. ## AI summary From 1 September 2019, commercial development charge rates rose 1.7% on average, while non-landed residential rates declined 0.3% across Singapore. ## Original article The Ministry of National Development has revised the development charge (DC) rates for the period 1 September 2019 to 29 February 2020. The review is carried out on a half-yearly basis in consultation with the Chief Valuer. The DC rates for Use Group A (Commercial) have increased; while the DC rates for Use Group B2 {Residential, (non-landed)} have decreased. The DC rates remain unchanged for Use Groups B1 {Residential, (landed)}, C (Hotel/Hospital), D (Industry), E (Place of Worship / Civic and Community Institution), and 3 other Use Groups F, G and H. (See Appendix 1 for Table of DC Rates). The DC rates for Use Group A (Commercial) have increased by 1.7% on average. 59 out of the 118 sectors have increases in DC rates ranging from 3% to 7%. There is no change to the DC rates for the remaining 59 sectors. The largest increase of 7% applies to the following sectors: • Sector 100 (Tampines Road / Hougang / Punggol / Sengkang area) • Sector 105 (Ang Mo Kio / Yio Chu Kang / Seletar area) • Sector 112 (Pan-Island Expressway / Bukit Batok East Avenue 6 / Upper Bukit Timah Road / Clementi Road / West Coast Highway / Penjuru Road / Jalan Buroh / Jurong East Area) The DC rates for Use Group B2 {Residential, (non-landed)} have decreased by 0.3% on average. 7 out of the 118 sectors have reduction in DC rates ranging from 4% to 7%. Rates are unchanged for the remaining 111 sectors. The largest decrease of 7% applies to the following sector: • Sector 112 (Pan-Island Expressway / Bukit Batok East Avenue 6 / Upper Bukit Timah Road / Clementi Road / West Coast Highway / Penjuru Road / Jalan Buroh / Jurong East Area) There are no changes to the Use Groups Table and the Geographical Sector maps. The revised DC rates (Appendix 1), to be read in conjunction with the Use Groups Table (Appendix 2) and the set of Geographical Sector maps* (Map A and Map B), will be effective from 1 September 2019. The new rates will apply to cases which are granted Provisional Permission (PP) or 2nd and subsequent extensions to the PP on or after the effective date. If there is any disagreement over the DC payable for any development proposal calculated based on the rates under the respective Use Groups, developers and owners can opt for a case-by-case valuation by the Chief Valuer, as provided for in the Planning Act. * Please use the Development Charge (DC) Sector Maps and Rates to find out the DC sector number and rates of a particular site. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 发展费费率调整 国家发展部已修订2019年9月1日至2020年2月29日期间的发展费（DC）费率。该检讨每半年进行一次，并咨询总估价师。 用途组别A（商业）的DC费率有所上调；而用途组别B2｛住宅（非有地）｝的DC费率则有所下调。用途组别B1｛住宅（有地）｝、C（酒店/医院）、D（工业）、E（宗教场所/公民与社区机构）以及其他三个用途组别F、G及H的DC费率维持不变。（见附录1的DC费率表）。 用途组别A（商业）的DC费率平均上调1.7%。118个地段分区中，有59个分区的DC费率上调幅度介乎3%至7%。其余59个分区的DC费率没有变动。上调幅度最大为7%的分区如下： • 第100区（Tampines Road / Hougang / Punggol / Sengkang一带） • 第105区（Ang Mo Kio / Yio Chu Kang / Seletar一带） • 第112区（Pan-Island Expressway / Bukit Batok East Avenue 6 / Upper Bukit Timah Road / Clementi Road / West Coast Highway / Penjuru Road / Jalan Buroh / Jurong East一带） 用途组别B2｛住宅（非有地）｝的DC费率平均下调0.3%。118个地段分区中，有7个分区的DC费率下调幅度介乎4%至7%。其余111个分区的费率维持不变。下调幅度最大为7%的分区如下： • 第112区（Pan-Island Expressway / Bukit Batok East Avenue 6 / Upper Bukit Timah Road / Clementi Road / West Coast Highway / Penjuru Road / Jalan Buroh / Jurong East一带） 用途组别表及地理分区地图均无更改。 经修订的DC费率（附录1）须连同用途组别表（附录2）及地理分区地图*（地图A及地图B）一并参阅，自2019年9月1日起生效。新费率将适用于在生效日或之后获批临时许可（PP），或获批第二次及后续PP展期的个案。 若对按各用途组别费率计算的任何发展建议所应付DC有异议，发展商及业主可选择由总估价师进行个案估价，一如《规划法》所规定。 * 请使用发展费（DC）分区地图及费率，以查询特定地段的DC分区编号及费率。
