Go Back To NewsSturgeon County Council requests public input on proposed Bylaw 1631/23 – Bylaw Enforcement Officer Technical Amendments.
Sturgeon County is proposing to update several bylaws – Land Use Bylaw (Bylaw 1385/17), Community Standards Bylaw (Bylaw 1433/19), Civic Addressing Bylaw (Bylaw 1616/23), and Surface Drainage Bylaw (Bylaw 1558/21) – by doing the following:
- Allowing municipal violation tags to be issued for specific penalties instead of using provincial violation tickets.
- Clarifying that the bylaw enforcement officer may enforce the above bylaws, and issue municipal violation tags.
A bylaw is needed to amend existing bylaws, and a public hearing must be held.
