Enforcement Action: The City of Brampton Enforcement and By-law Services Division will respond to complaints about the placement of election signs in contravention of the by-law. It will also investigate these concerns proactively.

Signs found in violation of the City of Brampton Sign By-law 399-2002 will be photographed and seized. Once a sign is seized it will be stored for a period of seven (7) days. During this period a candidate may request to have their signs returned however a $50.00 sign retrieval fee will be charged prior to the return of the signs which were seized due to contravention. This fee is permitted under the City of Brampton User Fee By-law 380-2003 – Schedule D – Enforcement Fees. This fee will be reapplied each time a retrieval is requested without exception. Two weeks after the close of the election all election signs seized that have not been retrieved will be destroyed.

Appointments to retrieve signs which have been seized must be made prior to attendance at the Enforcement and By-law Services office. Appointments can be requested by contacting the City of Brampton Enforcement Clerks at 905-458-3424 extension 63225 or by emailing enforcementclerks@brampton.ca

In addition to the retrieval fees noted above, the City of Brampton Enforcement and By-law Services Division, as permitted under the User Fee Bylaw, may apply a $25.00 per sign fee (to be invoiced to candidate following the election) for each sign that is removed due to a contravention of the City of Brampton Sign By-law 399-2002.

The City of Brampton at its sole discretion may also explore the option of laying charges under the City of Brampton Sign By-law 399-2002 which may require violators to attend the provincial offences court to have the matter dealt with.

Election campaigning is not permitted at non-City events that have been privately booked at a City facility, property or park. Any private booking for use of a City facility, property or park, which is then used for election campaigning or vote solicitation purposes, knowingly or unknowingly, may be refused, cancelled or shut down by the City, as deemed appropriate.

Election campaigning is permitted on public roadways and sidewalks (e.g. operating a vehicle with election signs or using the sidewalk to greet people and solicit support and voting), subject to the election sign provisions of the City’s Sign By-law.
