Designated Bylaw Enforcement Officers, including the Village's Bylaw Officer and building inspectors, issue them. Schedule A lists the offences and penalties. See also the Village's [Fines page](https://www.fraserlake.ca/municipal-hall/bylaws-enforcement/fines).\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Pay within 14 days of receiving the notice for the lower Early Payment amount (for example $50 instead of $100 for excessive noise).\n2. After more than 28 days, the higher Late Payment amount applies (for example $150 instead of $100 for excessive noise).\n3. To dispute, within 14 days pay or request adjudication at the Village Office, by mail to PO Box 430, Fraser Lake, V0J 1S0, or by email to admin@fraserlake.ca.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Examples of standard penalties: excessive noise $100; rubbish and discarded material $200; unpermitted outdoor fire $400; cutting a tree over 10 cm without a permit $300; lawn watering outside designated hours $100; installing a sign without a permit $100.\n- An unsuccessful dispute adds a $25 fee.\n- A screening officer may offer a compliance agreement for some offences, lasting up to one year.\n- A second notice within two years may be double or $500, whichever is less; more than two, $500. Each day an offence continues may be penalized.\n- No dog or parking-meter offences appear in the schedule.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/media/566","title":"Bylaw 856, Bylaw Enforcement Bylaw (PDF), Village of Fraser Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/municipal-hall/bylaws-enforcement/fines","title":"Fines, Village of Fraser Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 6 of 6 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fraser-lake/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fraser-lake/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fraser-lake/bylaw-fines.json"}}
