Administrative Monetary Penalty (A.M.P.) System
The Municipality of Brighton uses an Administrative Monetary Penalty (A.M.P.) system to address certain municipal by-law contraventions. An A.M.P. is a monetary penalty issued by the Municipality as an alternative to a Provincial Offences Act ticket.
The system provides a local, accessible process for resolving by-law penalty notices. If you receive a Penalty Notice, you may pay the penalty or request a review in accordance with the instructions and deadlines set out on the notice.
What is an A.M.P.?
Administrative Monetary Penalties may be issued for contraventions of municipal by-laws. Unlike a court ticket, an A.M.P. is reviewed through the Municipality’s administrative review process.
Relevant By-laws
The following by-laws govern the Municipality of Brighton’s Administrative Monetary Penalty (A.M.P.) system, including the issuance of penalty notices, applicable penalty amounts, and the screening and hearing review process.
- Administrative Monetary Penalty System By-law - Establishes the Municipality’s A.M.P. system and the process for issuing and administering penalty notices.
- A.M.P. Schedule Amendment By-law - Updates the schedule of administrative penalties.

If You Receive a Penalty Notice
You must either:
- Pay the penalty by the deadline shown on the Penalty Notice; or
- Request a screening review if you believe the Penalty Notice was issued in error or you wish to discuss the penalty.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of a screening review, you may be able to request a hearing review, subject to the applicable requirements and deadlines.
Important Information
Failure to pay a penalty or request a review by the required deadline may result in additional administrative fees and further collection action.
Please refer to your Penalty Notice for payment options, review deadlines, and instructions on how to request a screening or hearing review.
