The City of Port Moody's Bylaw Division enforces our bylaws. We work with the Port Moody Police Department, Port Moody Fire Rescue, health agencies, and property owners to keep our community safe.

Disputing or paying a municipal ticket

To dispute a municipal ticket, please complete a Quash Request form. Please note that disputes will only be considered if there is a valid reason. Municipal tickets will not be dismissed for such reasons as: you have never received a ticket for this violation in the past, you were unaware of the bylaw, nobody else has received a ticket for a similar violation, the bylaw seems unfair. 

You can pay a municipal ticket by mail or in person:

8:30am - 5pm Monday-Friday (closed on statutory holidays)
City Hall 2nd Floor - 100 Newport Dr
Port Moody BC  V3H 3E1

Or you can pay online:
