  • Overtime parking 
  • No-stopping (bus stop or anytime – various criteria)
  • No parking or improper parking (various criteria)

Paying your Parking Penalty (Ticket) within 11 days of receiving your penalty notice can save you half the cost of your ticket. Make sure to pay by the 11th day to receive the early payment discount – paying your penalty (ticket) after business hours (4pm) on the 11th day will result in your penalty (ticket) being charged at full price.

Remember, only parking related penalties (tickets) offer a lesser fee for early payment and penalty amounts will be mentioned at the bottom of your notice.

Disputing a Penalty Notice

Received a Penalty Notice and think it’s a mistake? You can choose to pay it or discuss it with a Screening Officer. This is the initial step in the MBEA adjudication process.

  • The Screening Officer will listen to your reasons during a phone call and may keep, lower, or dismiss your fine.
  • It’s completely free to have your ticket reviewed by a Screening Officer in Selkirk.
  • The Province has established rules for the ticket review process under The Municipal By-law Enforcement Act (MBEA), and The City of Selkirk has put these rules into action with the Administrative Penalties By-Law (5296).

Please note that Screening Officer appointments are via phone call only.

Screening Officer

Fill out the below form to have a Penalty Notice reviewed by the Screening Officer. By submitting the request for a Screening Officer you agree to the following:

  1. I understand that I have 30 days from being served with a Penalty Notice to request a review by a Screening Officer. Failure to address this matter within 30 days will result in collective action being taken. Requests received after 30 days will not be eligible for review.
  2. I understand that Screening Officers are the first tier of the adjudication process under the Municipal By-law Enforcement Act (MBEA). If you disagree with the decision made by the Screening Officer you have the option to proceed to a second level of review by a provincially-appointed adjudicator. Request for adjudication is subject to a fee of $25 paid to the municipality by the person requesting adjudication prior to the hearing. The fee will be refunded to the applicant if the adjudication is successful. Municipalities will contact the chief adjudicator to arrange for an adjudication sitting.
  3. The Screening Officer considers the full penalty amount when reviewing the circumstances surrounding each Penalty Notice. I understand that by proceeding with the Screening Officer request I waive the right to pay the lesser fee if the fine is upheld.
