Bill 17 fast‑tracks housing and infrastructure projects across Ontario - Burlington mortgage broker provides expert guidance on navigating the evolving market in late summer.
BURLINGTON, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / Ontario's legislature has passed Bill 17, the Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025, which aims to accelerate development approvals, streamline building charges, and reduce red tape. Jason Woods - TLC Mortgage Group, a top-rated mortgage broker in Burlington, ON, is launching targeted advisory sessions this September to help homebuyers and investors capitalize on the changes.
Why Bill 17 Matters for Burlington Buyers
Bill 17 introduces key reforms:
Deferred development charges until occupancy-minimizing upfront borrowing for builders.
Municipal planning standardization, including streamlined application and zoning authority, speeding the path from approval to move-in.
Expanded ministerial zoning powers, specifically for transit-oriented projects tied to affordability.
For Burlington buyers, these measures can translate into more timely completion of mid-rise condos and townhome developments-enhancing selection and financing choices when planning a fall move.
