How it works
The District of Barriere has two ticket systems. Bylaw notices are issued under the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 95 by RCMP members, bylaw enforcement officers or other District agents, and fire commissioner assistants. Municipal tickets come from the Municipal Ticketing Information Bylaw No. 71, which designates the Chief Administrative Officer, Finance Officer, Bylaw Enforcement Officer and, for some, the RCMP. The two systems side by side are normal.
Steps
- Read the back of the ticket. The District says that is where to find how to pay and how to dispute.
- To pay early, pay the Early Payment Amount in Schedule A within 5 days of receiving a bylaw notice (for example $75 instead of $100, or $250 instead of $300).
- To dispute, complete the adjudication form on the back within 30 calendar days of receiving the notice. Deliver it by mail or in person to 4936 Barriere Town Road.
Good to know
- Bylaw notice amounts: noise $100, noisy or nuisance animal $100, Fire Regulations breach $300, parks nuisance $200, business licence $100. A second violation of the same noise subsection is $300 and a third is $800. A municipal ticket for unsightly property is $100.
- No dog tickets are listed. The 2018 municipal ticket schedule also lists parking ($20 to $100) and water restrictions ($25) under older bylaw numbers, so confirm with the District.
- If a bylaw notice is not paid or disputed within 30 calendar days, the Late Payment Amount applies (for example $200 for a $100 noise ticket, $500 for a $300 fire ticket).
- The bylaw's text says 5 days for early payment, but the Schedule A headings on some pages say 14 days. Confirm the window with the District Office.
- An unsuccessful dispute adds a $25 fee. The Screening Officer (the Chief Administrative Officer) can review or cancel a notice, and offer a compliance agreement of up to one year where Schedule A allows one.
- Tickets not disputed in time are deemed convicted.
