Submit your request to appeal a City of Vaughan Penalty Notice
Please note that only penalties issued for City of Vaughan by-law contraventions, such as parking and licensing, can be appealed through this form. If you wish to appeal an Automated Speed Enforcement penalty, please visit www.vaughan.ca/penaltyappeals.
