Bylaw Services
Bylaw Services is a team that develops bylaws and enforces them within Calgary – bylaws being standards by which all Calgarians must live and abide by. These bylaws have been developed in order to help you live in harmony with your fellow Calgarians and to create beautiful and safe communities.
We believe in an education-first approach to bylaw enforcement. Through campaigns and programs, we strive to teach you about what our bylaws are and how you can lead by example, to make your community a better place.
