​Huron-Kinloss introduces new Administrative Monetary Penalty System

Huron-Kinloss TownshipBy: Huron-Kinloss Township  July 13, 2024
​Huron-Kinloss introduces new Administrative Monetary Penalty System
The Township of Huron-Kinloss has launched the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) which allows bylaw-related offences to be addressed directly by the township, streamlining the resolution process and enhancing overall efficiency.

That’s the word from the township in a press release, issued Wednesday.

Key benefits of AMPS
 
  • Faster resolutions: AMPS reduces wait times for resolving penalty notices
  • Improved compliance: The system aids in better bylaw adherence and community safety
  • Enhanced customer experience: The process is simpler and more user-friendly

Appeals process

If you receive a penalty notice, you have 15 days to pay or appeal the notice. The appeals process involves two stages:
 
  1. Screening officer review:
    • Request a screening within 15 days to dispute the notice or request more time to pay
    • The screening officer can confirm, adjust, or cancel the penalty
    • If you don’t attend your review appointment, the appeal is dismissed and a non-appearance fee is added
  2. Hearing officer review:
    • If unsatisfied with the screening decision, request a hearing officer review within 15 days
    • The hearing officer's decision is final and binding, and the penalty becomes payable immediately, unless stated otherwise

This system represents a significant improvement in how the township handles bylaw offences, ensuring a fairer and more efficient process for residents.
