Parking responsibilities are divided between four departments.
- Kelowna Parking: Management of monthly parking permits, cleaning of parkades and parking lots, and enforcement in pay parking areas.
- Parking Services: Requests for new parking restrictions (petitions), new signage and enforcement of time restricted areas.
- Bylaw Services: Enforcement of abandoned vehicles and all parking violations outside of pay, time restricted or institutional parking areas.
- Traffic Operations: Repair of existing parking related signage and requests for new parking restrictions related to sightline and traffic safety concerns.
When a complaint or concern is received, a service request will be initiated for tracking purposes. Please include your name, address, phone number, and a description of the issue. This information is confidential and will not be released to anyone without consent, or if required in a court of law or adjudication hearing. Anonymous complaints will not be accepted.
Service Requests are then classified according to the following priority system:
- Priority one: Health and safety
- Priority two: City liability
- Priority three: Nuisances
- Priority four: Nominal infractions
The assigned officer may, at their discretion:
- Issue a warning notice
- Issue a bylaw offence notice
- Issue a bylaw offence notice and tow a vehicle
- Take no enforcement action
The officer must be satisfied there is sufficient evidence to support a charge before an offence notice may be issued. If required, Parking Services may contact you to provide a statement or appear as a witness if the matter is disputed and proceeds to adjudication.
