How to Submit a Bylaw Complaint
A bylaw complaint is a formal written request to have an alleged bylaw infraction investigated by a bylaw enforcement officer. Complaints must be reported in writing to initiate enforcement. CVRD Bylaw Officers respond to complaints Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm.
When a bylaw complaint is submitted:
- Anonymity of the complainant will be maintained between the complainant and the alleged offender except where disclosure is required or necessary in a court of law.
- Completed bylaw complaint forms are treated as formal legal documents, even if sent electronically. See BC’s Electronic Transactions Act for more details.
