The Municipality of Brighton through By-Law Enforcement is committed to the maintenance of community standards that contribute to improving the quality of life. The Mandate of By-Law Enforcement is to achieve compliance with municipal by-laws through education, mediation, and, as necessary, enforcement and prosecution.
The Municipal By-law Enforcement Officer will investigate your complaint shortly after receiving your written complaint. The By-law Officer is usually successful in obtaining voluntary compliance with Municipal By-Laws. There are always instances that require additional enforcement and when an individual does not voluntarily comply, there are formal legal requirements that must be followed and these can take time.
By-law Services investigates and enforces regulatory municipal by-laws such as property standards, clean yards, noise control, parking control, dog control, and sign control. The By-Law Officer is also responsible for issuing licenses, such as refreshment vehicle, taxi, hawkers and pedlars, salvage yard and sign permits.
Illegal dumping should be reported to the Northumberland County Waste Management Department at 1-866-293-8379.

Please be advised that Quinte West Animal control is contracted to only pick up a dog when they are tied up by the complainant.
