Why is my neighbour not being fined?
Each complaint is assessed individually. Officers use discretion based on the available evidence, severity of the issue, compliance efforts, and applicable legislation. Not all situations result in immediate fines or penalties.
Do officers monitor all bylaw violations?
No. By-law Enforcement is primarily complaint-driven and relies on residents to report concerns.
Why do these bylaws exist?
Municipal bylaws are established by Council to help protect public health and safety, maintain property standards, support responsible community living, and enhance the overall well-being of the Township.
