Parking enforcement issues have long been among the biggest challenges for Brampton Bylaw Services, but a new report shows the number of complaints is finally trending downwards after years of an average 23 per cent increase.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s latest rundown of bylaw enforcement numbers was presented to a committee of Brampton City Council on Wednesday and shows the number of parking complaints was down 5 per cent between January and August year-over-year.<\/p>\n

There were 79,379 parking complaints in 2025 between January and August, compared to 75,762 during the same period in 2026, according to the report.<\/p>\n

And while year-over-year parking complaints are trending downwards, complaints are still up some 28 per cent from 2024.<\/p>\n

Over the last three years, parking complaints have increased an average of 23 per cent. The recent decrease is credited to the city\u2019s new \u201cproactive enforcement\u201d measures<\/a>, which include graduated fines, expanded towing capacity and increased automated licence plate recognition (ALPR) coverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombined with intelligence-led deployment, updated operating procedures, and early season preventative outreach, these measures have significantly improved response times, resolution rates, and compliance across all enforcement divisions, resulting in more consistent service delivery and stronger community standards,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n

Brampton\u2019s Ward 9 has seen the most parking issues so far this year, with 15,739 fines issued.<\/p>\n

Parking complaints were down this year, but other issues like property standards calls, noise and nuisance incidents were up.<\/p>\n

Municipal calls related to noise, nuisance, fireworks, and winter operations were up 14 per cent between January and August compared to the same time last year, while property standards complaints saw a 5 per cent spike.<\/p>\n

Graduated fines, with increasing penalties for repeat offenders, are also generating more revenue for the city, with the number of fines issued more than doubling in 2026 from last year. More than $14.96 million in fines have been issued so far in Brampton, up from $6.4 million in all of 2025.<\/p>\n

Nearly $8 million in bylaw fines were handed out in Brampton by June<\/a>, according to city reports.<\/p>\n

Some 13 per cent of fines issued so far this year were attributed to \u201crepeat offenders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sharp rise in total fines paired with a slight decline in repeat-violation share suggests that enforcement efforts are reaching a broader base of first-time offenders, while continued graduated fine strategies are helping limit repeat non-compliance,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Brampton Bylaw Enforcement officers began rotating through all ten wards in the city under a \u201cproactive\u201d plan designed to crack down on ongoing resident concerns related to parking enforcement, property standards and other issues.<\/p>\n

Brampton Bylaw said in June it was \u201ccatching up\u201d to community complaints, and that the new enforcement model will let city councillors report problem properties for enforcement consideration.<\/p>\n
