Bylaw invoices
A homeowner will receive a bylaw invoice if a City contractor is sent to resolve a bylaw order issued by an officer (examples: snow and ice removal, clean-up of waste or an unsightly premise, removal of material from a street or alleyway, removal of graffiti, grass or weed removal or tree/shrub trimming).
The invoice covers the charges incurred by City contractors in their work to resolve the issue.
The homeowner then receives the financial bill for the work. You can then pay the invoice directly or have it added to your end-of-year tax bill.
You can also appeal the invoice. If you have received an invoice from us for a bylaw infraction and would like to appeal the invoice, please review the information below before submitting your appeal.
When to contact 3-1-1

- You have general questions about appealing an invoice.
When to submit an appeal
You may submit an appeal if you meet the following criteria:

- You are the registered property owner (tenants can not submit an appeal).
- The property address and roll number listed on the invoice is the actual service location where the corrective action was taken.
