Each is a $500 bylaw notice.\n- To complain, use the online bylaw complaint form, call 250-578-2020 ext. 211 or email bylaw@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca. The Bylaw mobile is 778-257-2275; voicemail or text is not a valid complaint. The page does not state bylaw office hours.\n- Short-term nightly rental noise: call the 24/7 hotline at 778-910-4479. The on-mountain contact must respond within 30 minutes.\n- We found no after-hours line for other noise.","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 5 of 8 facts was matched to the official text; 3 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/sun-peaks/noise-rules/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/sun-peaks/noise-rules.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/sun-peaks/noise-rules.json"}}
