How it works

Revelstoke uses two ticket systems at once. Bylaw offence notices (Bylaw Offence Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2370) carry penalties of up to $500 and have a screening officer and adjudication. Municipal tickets (Municipal Ticket Information System Bylaw No. 2082) carry fines of up to $3,000. Designated bylaw enforcement officers, such as Bylaw Compliance Officers and RCMP officers, issue them. Many offences are in both schedules at different amounts, so the amount depends on which one you receive.

Steps

  1. Pay or dispute within 14 days of receiving a bylaw notice. After that you cannot dispute it.
  2. To dispute a bylaw notice, submit the dispute form in person at City Hall. A screening officer will phone you.
  3. To dispute a municipal ticket, use the MTI Dispute Form, also within 14 days of issuance.
  4. To pay, go to City Hall, use online banking with the payee "Revelstoke", or use OptionPay. E-transfers are not accepted.
