Bylaw notices come under [Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw 5700-2018](<https://www.mission.ca/media/file/5700-2018-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylawpdf>) and are paid or disputed through the Upper Fraser Valley adjudication registry. Municipal tickets come under [Ticket Information Bylaw 2646-1993](<https://www.mission.ca/media/file/2646-1993-ticket-information-bylawpdf-0>), which has its own fines. Bylaw officers, building inspectors, animal control officers and RCMP can issue them. Dog tickets use the FVRD's own [bylaw notice bylaw](<https://www.fvrd.ca/assets/Government/Documents/Bylaws/Other/CONSOLIDATED%20Bylaw%20Notice%20Enforcement%20Bylaw.pdf>).\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Read your ticket for the offence, amount and payment options.\n2. To pay: mail a cheque or money order payable to the City of Mission to Bylaw Services, 7337 Welton Street, Mission BC V2V 3X1; pay in person at Welton Common or City Hall during business hours; or pay by credit card at 604-793-2743.\n3. To dispute, within 14 days of receiving the notice, complete the form on the back and send it to the Upper Fraser Valley adjudication registry, 8550 Young Road, Chilliwack, by mail, fax 604-793-2175 or email info@chilliwack.com. After 14 days it cannot be disputed.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Bylaw notice examples (full / early / late): overtime parking $70 / $50 / $100; large vehicle in a residential area $140 / $100 / $200; noise that disturbs $500 / $350 / $650; unsightly property $500 / $350 / $650; unlicensed dog (FVRD) $200 / $190 / $210. Municipal tickets are the same, except a large vehicle in a residential area is $250.\n- Pay within 14 days of receiving the notice for the lower early amount. A surcharge is added if payment is received more than 28 days after receipt.\n- After 28 days a letter gives a final chance to pay; if it is still unpaid 45 days after the letter, the ticket may go to a collection agent.\n- A screening officer tries to resolve a dispute first. A compliance agreement, where offered, halves the penalty. If you lose at adjudication, a $25 fee is added.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.mission.ca/media/file/5700-2018-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylawpdf","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw 5700-2018 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mission.ca/media/file/2646-1993-ticket-information-bylawpdf-0","title":"Ticket Information Bylaw 2646-1993 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.fvrd.ca/assets/Government/Documents/Bylaws/Other/CONSOLIDATED%20Bylaw%20Notice%20Enforcement%20Bylaw.pdf","title":"FVRD Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, Schedule A-3 Animal Control (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.mission.ca/council-government/bylaws-policies/bylaw-enforcement","title":"Bylaw Enforcement, City of Mission","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/mission/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/mission/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/mission/bylaw-fines.json"}}
