Unless otherwise posted, you can park on Township streets for up to three (3) hours. If you need to park on the street for longer than three hours, you can request a Temporary On-Street Parking Exemption by visiting our website.
Please note that parking on Regional Roads may differ from the Township. For more information, you can view York Region's Parking By-law 2017-37 and Parking By-law 2017-47.
Online appeals and in-person* First Attendance Hearings provide an opportunity for By-law Enforcement Services to review your ticket where you may request a reduction or cancellation of the fine. You will have the opportunity to submit comments and photos online as well as in-person. Online appeals give you the opportunity to make this request without having to come into the office.
Upon submitting an appeal or during the First Attendance Hearing, By-law Enforcement Services will review the circumstances of the ticket, including the relevant evidence and municipal parking regulations. They will also consider your comments and any evidence of your own. The decision to reduce or cancel your parking ticket is at the discretion of the Township and may depend on past history of parking infractions and the circumstances of the parking ticket.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the online appeal or in-person hearing, you may still proceed to court to challenge the ticket.
