## How it works

Mission has two ticket systems side by side. 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>).
