Penalty Notice

An Administrative Monetary Penalty (AMP) is a penalty imposed directly by the Municipality to an offender. Every person who contravenes a provision of a by-law listed in the AMPS By-law shall be issued a Penalty Notice by an Officer appointed by the Municipality and will be required to pay the Municipality an Administrative Penalty in an amount specified. Penalty Notices are issued for both Parking infractions and contraventions of By-laws.

Pay a Penalty Notice

If a person wishes to have their Penalty Notice reviewed (disputed) by a Screening Officer,  please follow the steps below:

The offender shall email or submit in person the AMPS Screening Form to the Municipality within 15 days of the Penalty Notice.  

• A Screening Officer will contact the offender about their AMPS penalty and setup a hearing date either in person, or virtually.
• If a resolution cannot be reached, the person can request that the matter be further appealed and heard by an independent Hearing Officer for a more formal review by completing the AMPS Hearing Appeal Form.
• If fines are not paid and a Screening Form has not been received within 15 days of the date of Penalty issuance, the penalty can be added to municipal taxes.

All forms can be downloaded from our Licenses, Applications and Permits page.
