Submit a completed dispute form for each ticket you choose to dispute. A dispute form must be submitted to the City of Langley Bylaw Enforcement Department within 14 days from the issuance of the Bylaw Notice (ticket).

Dispute Process

Screening Stage

1. Email the completed Bylaw Dispute Form to dispute@langleycity.ca.
2. A screening officer will review the details provided by the disputant and the issuing officer. At this point, the screening officer will contact you to obtain any further information and communicate their findings resulting in:
   1. The Bylaw Notice is cancelled   
   2. The Bylaw Notice will not be cancelled
3. If the screening officer cancels the Bylaw Notice no further action will be required. If the Bylaw Notice is not cancelled you will be required to make payment or to confirm that you wish to proceed to an adjudication hearing. Once you proceed to an adjudication hearing, you can only cancel your dispute by paying your Bylaw Notice (ticket) before the hearing. Hearing options are available, in person, by phone or in writing.
4. Once a hearing date has been set you will receive an adjudication package via mail.

Adjudication Stage

At the Adjudication Hearing, evidence is presented and the adjudicator decides if an offence did or did not occur.          

• If an offence did occur, the Bylaw Notice must be paid in full, plus an additional $25 administrative fee.
• If there is not enough evidence to support that the offence occurred, the Bylaw Notice is cancelled.
