Steps
- Pay within 14 days of receiving the notice (or of being presumed to receive it) to get the early payment amount, normally $10 less than the penalty ($90 on a $100 ticket).
- To dispute, within 14 days fill in the dispute portion of the notice and deliver it in person or by mail to the Village Municipal Hall. After 14 days a notice cannot be disputed.
- A late payment surcharge applies if payment is more than 28 days after the notice was received or presumed received (usually $10 more, for example $110 on a $100 ticket).
Good to know
- A person who loses an adjudication pays an additional $25.
- A compliance agreement, where available, lowers the penalty to one half.
- A few small offences use different early and late amounts (for example $50 with $40 early and $60 late; boat launch and pay parking $75 with $45 early and $100 late), so check Schedule A for the offence.
- The Bylaw Enforcement page says the ticket can be dropped off at several municipal offices, while the bylaw names the Village Municipal Hall. Call 604-796-2171 to confirm.
