Ask the District office at 250-636-2251.\n- Court maximums on conviction: the [Traffic Regulation Bylaw](https://districtofstewart.civicweb.net/document/18094/) not more than $2,000; the [Water Connection Bylaw](https://districtofstewart.civicweb.net/document/918/) up to $10,000. These are court maximums, not ticket amounts.\n- Under the Traffic Regulation Bylaw, if the fine is not paid to the District within 30 days of the notice being issued, the penalty sections apply. This is for traffic offences only.","sources":[{"url":"https://districtofstewart.com/district-hall/bylaws/bylaw-enforcement-education-forms","title":"Bylaw Enforcement, District of Stewart","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://districtofstewart.com/district-hall/bylaws/bylaw-enforcement-complaint-form","title":"Bylaw Complaint Form, District of Stewart","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://districtofstewart.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/136/","title":"Bylaw library (Municipal Ticket Information System bylaw No. 968, 2020), District of Stewart","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://districtofstewart.civicweb.net/document/18094/","title":"Traffic Regulation Bylaw No. 995, 2022 (PDF), District of Stewart","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://districtofstewart.civicweb.net/document/918/","title":"Water Connection Bylaw No. 873, 2013 (PDF), District of Stewart","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/stewart/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/stewart/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/stewart/bylaw-fines.json"}}
