Bylaw officers, animal control officers, the RCMP and others can issue them. Disputes go to a screening officer and adjudication. Animal Control and some other bylaws also allow municipal tickets, and disputed municipal tickets go to Provincial Court. A bylaw notice and a municipal ticket are two separate systems; the amount is on the notice or ticket you receive.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Read the notice. Pay within 14 days for the lower early amount.\n2. To dispute, within 14 days of receiving the notice, pay or ask for dispute adjudication on the notice, in person at the District during office hours or by mail.\n3. A screening officer may offer a compliance agreement for some offences, with a 50% reduced penalty.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Examples (full amounts): unlicensed dog $150; dog at large $100; noise from premises $200; rubbish on a property $200; parking over 72 hours $100; sprinkling outside permitted days or times $150.\n- If the District receives payment within 14 days of the person receiving (or being presumed to have received) the notice, the early amount applies, usually half the penalty (for example $75 on a $150 notice). Some offences have no early reduction, such as possessing six or more dogs.\n- If paid more than 31 days after receiving the notice, a late payment surcharge applies, usually double the penalty (for example $300 on a $150 notice).\n- You cannot dispute after 14 days. A person who loses the adjudication pays an additional $25.\n- Municipal Hall: 615 Main Street, Lillooet, BC.
