The Administrative Monetary Penalty (A.M.P.) system is a fast and flexible process for payment, appeal and collection of minor by-law infractions. This approach is used by many municipalities, the province and the federal government and is designed to streamline the enforcement process and increase compliance with Town of Cobourg by-laws.

A.M.P. enforcement transfers by-law disputes from the courtroom to the municipality using Screening and Hearings Officers who can modify, cancel, or affirm penalties. Learn more at Cobourg.ca/amp
