Regulatory By-Laws for the Township of Uxbridge

The By-law Enforcement Department is responsible for the enforcement of all Municipal regulatory By-laws, including Property Standards and Parking Enforcement.

The Department's mandate is to ensure compliance with Municipal By-laws as well as certain Provincial Statutes. These may include noise or improper fencing just to name a few.

Other than for parking enforcement, the Township of Uxbridge By-law Department mainly operates on a complaint basis. When a complaint is received, it is investigated and appropriate action is taken. However, should a health and safety issue arise in the Township, the By-law Department may pursue this issue without a complaint. Parking enforcement is proactively enforced throughout the Township.

If you receive a parking ticket and wish to contest it, you can arrange an appointment with the By-law Enforcement Officer to discuss the matter by contact 905-852-9181 ext. 223. If the issue cannot be resolved you have the option of pursuing the ticket through court by signing the back side of the ticket and bringing it to the Township office. From here a court date will be set.
