## How it works

For parking, a bylaw enforcement officer or police officer issues a Traffic Infraction Notice under the [Traffic and Parking Bylaw 568](<https://mcbride.civicweb.net/document/3532/>). For other bylaws, a ticket may be issued under the Community Charter and Local Government Act procedure. The [Animal Control Bylaw 693](<https://mcbride.civicweb.net/document/3535/>) refers to a "Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw", but none is posted in the Village's bylaw library, so no ticket amounts for those offences were found.

## Amounts we found

- Parking tickets: $25 if paid within 14 calendar days of the date of issue, $50 after that.
- Fees Bylaw 847, other fees (not called tickets): $150 for a habitually noisy dog and $50 for failing to remove dog waste.
- Court fines (maximums on conviction): up to $2,000 for animal control offences and for unsightly property (each day a new offence); $2,000 to $10,000 under the [Water Bylaw 737](<https://mcbride.civicweb.net/document/3541/>); at least $100 under the [Burning Bylaw 680](<https://mcbride.civicweb.net/document/3533/>).

## Good to know

- If a parking ticket stays unpaid, court proceedings may be started against the registered owner, who can pay the Schedule A amount out of court up to 24 hours before the appearance.
- How to dispute a ticket is not described in any readable official text. Ask the Village Office at 250-569-2229.
