Your right to request a review or an extension for a review expires if it has not been exercised before 4:30 pm on the 15th day after receipt of the Penalty Notice. If confirmation is not received, it is assumed you have waived the right to request a review. The Administrative Penalty shall be affirmed and will not be subject to review, including review by any court.

No extension granted under this section will extend beyond the 42nd day after receipt of the Penalty Notice.

Your rights to request a review and an extension to request a review are exercised by giving the County a written notice that includes:

  • The penalty notice number;
  • Your mailing address and, if applicable, facsimile transmission number and/or email address;
  • When requesting an extension to request a review, include the reasons for having failed to exercise the right to request a review within the time limit;

  • Your choice to:
    • Meet with a Screening Officer for the review; or to

After you submit your review request and pay the fee, the Screening Officer will contact you via email when they are ready to review your file.
