## How it works

The District uses bylaw notices under the [Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw 2275](<https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/bylaw-no-2275-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw>), issued by Bylaw Enforcement Officers. 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.

## Steps

1. Pay within 14 days of receiving the notice to get the early payment amount, which is 10% lower on most items.
2. 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.
3. To dispute, complete the dispute section on the back within 14 days and deliver it to the District (in person, mail, fax or email).
4. A screening officer reviews it. If it is upheld, you can pay or go to an adjudicator at Kelowna City Hall.

## Good to know

- Common amounts are in the cost line above. For example, $100 becomes $90 early and $110 late; $500 becomes $450 early and $550 late.
- If an adjudicator upholds the notice, the full penalty plus a $25 adjudication fee is due.
- Overdue fees may be sent to collections, and postmarks do not count as the payment date.
- 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.
