If your bylaw compliance concern involves a neighbour, you are encouraged to start by talking with your neighbour. Try to reach a resolution or compromise without the involvement of a Bylaw Enforcement Officer. Many problems can be resolved earlier and with less stress when neighbours work together cooperatively. If you do not feel comfortable talking with your neighbour first, or you have attempted to do so without resolving the problem, please contact City Hall to discuss whether Bylaw Enforcement can help.
All complainants will be kept anonymous unless court action is required or an order is made pursuant to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Personal Privacy Act.

Dog Control
The City of Enderby administers dog control services within Enderby and the specified area of Area F. If you live in Area F, view the map to find out if you are in the specified area.
Dog licenses may be purchased at Enderby City Hall at 619 Cliff Avenue. All dogs over the age of 6 months or residing in our service area for more than 30 days must be licensed. It’s not only the law – a dog license helps us to reunite dogs with their owners quickly so that owners can avoid paying impound fees.
In addition to purchasing a license, dog owners are responsible for controlling their dogs. This means obeying dog control signs, making sure that your dog is under the control and not unlawfully at large, not barking excessively, or chasing/attacking other animals or persons. These infractions could result in a ticket or, in the event of an attack, a dangerous dog designation or other enforcement action.
Please call 250-838-0233 or email dogs@cityofenderby.com for further information.
