How it works

The District mainly uses bylaw notices under the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2021-002 (in place since 2021). 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.

Steps

  1. Read the notice. Pay within 14 days for the lower early amount.
  2. 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.
  3. A screening officer may offer a compliance agreement for some offences, with a 50% reduced penalty.

  • 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).
