Most bylaws are enforced on complaint. Dog tickets are issued by the RDCO under its own bylaws ([Bylaw 1538](<https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/rdco-ca/media/vovoh2ok/bl1538-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw-consolidated.pdf>) for bylaw notices and [Bylaw 1537](<https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/rdco-ca/media/fknipfoc/bl1537-ticket-information-and-utilization-consolidated.pdf>) for municipal tickets). The District library has no municipal ticket bylaw of its own that we could find.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Pay within 14 days of receiving the notice to get the early payment amount, which is 10% lower on most items.\n2. Payment from day 15 to day 27 is the full amount. At 28 days or more after the notice was received, the late amount applies, 10% higher on most items.\n3. To dispute, complete the dispute section on the back within 14 days and deliver it to the District (in person, mail, fax or email).\n4. A screening officer reviews it. If it is upheld, you can pay or go to an adjudicator at Kelowna City Hall.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Common amounts are in the cost line above. For example, $100 becomes $90 early and $110 late; $500 becomes $450 early and $550 late.\n- If an adjudicator upholds the notice, the full penalty plus a $25 adjudication fee is due.\n- Overdue fees may be sent to collections, and postmarks do not count as the payment date.\n- RDCO dog tickets are disputed with the RDCO, not the District. The RDCO ticket table is marked \"for reference only\", so confirm amounts with the RDCO.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/bylaw-services","title":"Bylaw Services, District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/bylaw-no-2275-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2275, 2020 (PDF), District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/rdco-ca/media/sueey4fq/bl1343-consolidated-regulate-license-control-responsible-dog-ownership-2023.pdf","title":"RDCO Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw No. 1343, 2014 (consolidated PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/rdco-ca/media/vovoh2ok/bl1538-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw-consolidated.pdf","title":"RDCO Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 1538 (consolidated PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/rdco-ca/media/fknipfoc/bl1537-ticket-information-and-utilization-consolidated.pdf","title":"RDCO Ticket Information and Utilization Bylaw No. 1537 (consolidated PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-06"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-06","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/peachland/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/bylaw-fines.json"}}
