On Feb. 1, 2022, the Town launched the Administrative Penalties System (APS) process to help residents with parking ticket disputes.
This program moves disputes from the Provincial Offences Court to the Town’s APS system, which uses screening and hearing officers to settle issues.
APS is a quicker and more flexible way to pay, dispute, and collect penalties. It covers Penalty Notices for things like parking and now includes some by-law violations.

There are two options available to dispute a parking ticket or penalty notice. Please read through both options carefully before making a selection.
Screening |
|
When someone disputes a ticket, a screening officer first looks at the case. This service helps you dispute parking tickets and penalty notices without needing to book a hearing.
If you disagree with the screening officer’s decision, you can ask for a hearing with a hearing officer chosen by the Town. Please use Chrome to access the scheduler. |
Hearing |
|
If you wish to challenge the evidence of the screening officer who issued your parking ticket or penalty notice you can then request a hearing. A hearing can only be requested once you have gone through the screening process. The Hearing Officer will review the case and make a final decision about the penalty notice. The hearing officer’s decision is final and must be followed.
Fill out the form below, and a representative will contact you within five business days. |
If you do not attend your scheduled appointment, the penalty notice will be confirmed and the vehicle’s registered owner will be required to pay a fee for failing to attend the appointment.
Failure to respond to a parking ticket or penalty notice
If you do not respond to the parking ticket or penalty notice by the due date — either by paying the penalty or scheduling an initial screening review — you automatically waive your right to a review, and the administrative penalty is deemed upheld and not subject to review.
Administrative processing fees |
|
Administrative fees for processing penalties are as follows:
Additionally, if the penalty notice and administrative fees remain unpaid, a notice of default will be sent to the Ministry of Transportation which will result in your Ontario Vehicle Permit renewal being denied. |
