A Bylaw Notice, under [Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 7626-2020](https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/bylaw-notice-enforcement-consolidated-bylaw-no-7626-2020) and the provincial Local Government Bylaw Notice Enforcement Act, is placed on a vehicle or mailed to the registered owner. Municipal Ticket Information (MTI), under [Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw No. 6929-2012](https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/ticket-information-utilization-bylaw-no-6929-2012-consolidated), is the other. Tickets are issued by Bylaw Compliance Officers, including RCMP members, parking officers and animal control officers. The City pages do not say which offences use which system.\n\n## Common amounts\n\n- Bylaw notice: dog at large or unlicensed $150; noise that disturbs $300; untidy premises $300; overtime parking $50; parking within 5 m of a hydrant $100; burning without a permit $200.\n- Municipal ticket: the same, except a dog at large or unlicensed is $100.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Early payment: pay a bylaw notice within 14 days of receiving it for a lower amount (for example $150 becomes $100; $300 becomes $250). Municipal tickets for highway and traffic offences and for noise show a discounted amount if paid within 30 days (for example $50 becomes $20; $300 becomes $150).\n- Late payment: a bylaw notice paid more than 28 days after you receive it costs more (for example $150 becomes $200; $300 becomes $350). Unpaid notices and tickets go to a collection agency or legal firm, and the City may take the person to a Provincial Court payment hearing.\n- Disputing a bylaw notice: in writing within 14 days of the issue date (back of the notice or the Notice of Appeal form); no phone disputes. A screening officer reviews it, then there is an adjudication hearing (in person, by phone or in writing). If you lose, you pay the full amount plus a $25 fee.\n- Disputing an MTI: use the dispute form within 14 days; it may go to Provincial Court. A paid ticket cannot be disputed.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/community-safety/bylaw-enforcement/bylaw-notice-ticket","title":"Bylaw Notice (Ticket), City of Maple Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/bylaw-notice-enforcement-consolidated-bylaw-no-7626-2020","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement (Consolidated) Bylaw No. 7626-2020, Schedule A","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/community-safety/bylaw-enforcement/municipal-ticket-information-mti","title":"Municipal Ticket Information (MTI), City of Maple Ridge","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mapleridge.ca/media/file/ticket-information-utilization-bylaw-no-6929-2012-consolidated","title":"Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw No. 6929-2012 (Consolidated) (PDF)","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/maple-ridge/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/maple-ridge/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/maple-ridge/bylaw-fines.json"}}
