Cash-in-lieu dedication
If land is not dedicated for park purposes, the City of Winnipeg requires a cash-in-lieu payment (subject to exceptions*). The payment will represent 10 percent of the Planned Area value.
To calculate the Planned Area value, multiply the size of the Planned Area by the appropriate Land Value. Council approved the following Land Values for 2024:
Employment Land Value - $75,000/per acre
- applies to land with the following OurWinnipeg 2045 designations: Employment Lands, Airport Area

Minimum Land Value - $7,500
- applications are subject to a fee of $7,500 for a Planned Area which is less than 20,000 sq. ft.
The type of development application does not affect the cash-in-lieu payment. The calculation of cash-in-lieu dedication will be the same for all applications.
*previous dedication (cash or land) may exempt the application from additional dedication. For more details, review the Development Agreement Parameters.
