They may be issued by RCMP members, municipal bylaw enforcement officers, property use, business licence or building inspectors, and local assistants to the Fire Commissioner. Some bylaws also mention tickets under the Community Charter, but we found no separate municipal ticket bylaw.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Examples: parking in a no parking zone or over 36 hours, $65; within 6 m of a fire hydrant, $100; dog at large, $100 first, $200 second and $300 third offence in a year; nighttime noise, $500; unsightly property, $500; outside burning without a permit, $200; snow on the road, $250.\n- Early payment: pay the early amount within 14 days of receiving the notice. Early amounts are listed only for parking and snow (for example $65 becomes $40 and $100 becomes $60). Other schedules list a single amount.\n- Late payment: the schedules say a 25% late fee applies to fines unpaid after 14 days (Schedule E: to a maximum of $500), while section 5.3 says the late amount applies after 28 days. Check the notice or ask the Municipality.\n- Dispute: within 21 days of receiving the notice, request adjudication by completing the form on the back and delivering it by mail or in person to the Municipality. If you lose, you pay the penalty plus a $25 fee. A Screening Officer may review the notice and offer a compliance agreement.\n- Questions: Bylaw, 250-578-2020 ext. 211 or bylaw@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca.\n- Water-use fines are not in this bylaw; see the water answer.","sources":[{"url":"https://sunpeaks.civicweb.net/document/55686/","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 0011, 2010 (PDF), Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.sunpeaksmunicipality.ca/bylaw-enforcement","title":"Bylaw Enforcement, Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality","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 6 of 6 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/sun-peaks/bylaw-fines/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/sun-peaks/bylaw-fines.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/sun-peaks/bylaw-fines.json"}}
