Bylaw notices ([Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw 3139](https://www.langleycity.ca/media/file/bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw-3139-consolidated-april-29-2024)) cover the Highway and Traffic Regulation Bylaw (parking and traffic), with early-payment amounts and dispute by screening and adjudication. Municipal tickets ([Municipal Ticket Information System Bylaw 2846](https://www.langleycity.ca/media/file/ticket-information-system-bylaw-2846-consolidated-dec-4-2023)) cover other City bylaws such as animal control, noise, fireworks and community standards, and also list some highway offences. Bylaw enforcement and RCMP officers can issue them.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Check the ticket for the offence and the amount.\n2. To pay, use the City's Pay a Ticket page.\n3. To dispute a bylaw notice, send a separate dispute form for each ticket, by email to dispute@langleycity.ca, within 14 days of receiving it.\n4. A screening officer reviews it and cancels or upholds the ticket. If it is upheld, you can pay or go to an adjudication hearing.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Examples: most parking offences $70 bylaw notice; unlicensed dog $250; dog at large $100; noise $100; unsightly property $100; fireworks sale or use without a permit $300; unauthorized watering $100 to $1,000 depending on the water stage.\n- Early payment: parking-type bylaw notices ($70) are $35 if the City receives payment within 14 days. Some offences, such as failing to obey a traffic sign ($100), have no reduction. Municipal tickets show one amount.\n- After 14 days the full penalty applies. A notice can still be paid after 14 days but can no longer be disputed. The bylaw sets no extra late charge.\n- If the offence is upheld at adjudication, you pay the penalty plus a $25 fee.\n- The City's pages and bylaws do not describe how to dispute a municipal ticket. Ask the Community Safety Team.\n- Illegal burning has no confirmed current ticket amount, because the schedule still cites the repealed 2009 fire bylaw.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.langleycity.ca/media/file/bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw-3139-consolidated-april-29-2024","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 3139 (consolidated April 29, 2024) (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.langleycity.ca/media/file/ticket-information-system-bylaw-2846-consolidated-dec-4-2023","title":"Municipal Ticket Information System Bylaw No. 2846 (consolidated December 4, 2023) (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.langleycity.ca/city-services/public-safety/community-safety-team-formerly-bylaw-enforcement","title":"Community Safety Team (formerly Bylaw Enforcement), City of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.langleycity.ca/media/file/municipal-ticket-information-system-bylaw-2846-consolidated-dec-4-2023","title":"Municipal Ticket Information System Bylaw No. 2846, Schedule B23","accessed":"2026-11-05"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-05","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/langley/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley/bylaw-fines.json"}}
