BYLAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES

Bylaw enforcement authority is governed under The Cities Act section 337, The Municipalities Act section 373, and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010. Under this legislation, a council may appoint a bylaw enforcement officer that the council considers necessary. The council shall define their duties and fix their remuneration. Bylaw enforcement officers appointed under the above legislation may represent the municipality before a justice of the peace or provincial court judge in the prosecution of anyone who is charged with a contravention of a bylaw.

In Saskatchewan, a bylaw enforcement officer may issue a notice of violation or summons offence ticket in accordance with the Summary Offence Procedures Regulations, 1991.

Other commonly used names for bylaw enforcement include bylaw enforcement officer, municipal enforcement officer, municipal peace officer, bylaw inspector, licensing inspector.

Bylaw enforcement officers are designated as Peace Officers under the Summary Offences Procedures Act, 1990, and the Criminal Code of Canada.
