Through the Administrative Penalty System, an owner or authorized representative can appeal their Penalty Order by requesting a review of the Penalty Order. The request must be made within 30 days from the Deemed Service Date noted on the front of the Penalty Order.
A Screening Officer is authorized to confirm, reduce and/or provide additional time to pay the Penalty Order. A Screening Officer can also cancel a Penalty Order should there be credible evidence provided and reason to do so. These reasons are set out in the Administrative Penalty System By-law.
The following information is required to process an appeal to a Screening Officer. Every effort will be made to schedule your Appeal to a Screening Officer within 30 days from receipt of this request. If you have any questions, please call 705-739-4280.

It is your responsibility to ensure the authorized representative has any credible or trustworthy documentation they wish to rely upon readily available for the appeal. Although efforts will be made to ensure the authorized representative is sent the time and date of the appeal, it is your responsibility to ensure the authorized representative is aware of the date and time of the appeal. Failure of the authorized representative to appear at the scheduled appeal will result in a $60.00 Non-attendance Fee being added to your Penalty Order. If you have any questions, please call (705) 739-4280.
To qualify for an extension of time to appeal, your reasons for not completing this form within 30 calendar days of the Deemed Service date must be beyond your control (for example, a hospitalization). Failure to pay or appeal the Penalty Order within the allotted time may result in late fees being applied to the penalty amount and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario being notified to prevent renewal of your vehicle plates or issuance of a new vehicle plate.
Every effort will be made to schedule your screening appeal within 30 days of this form submission.

You will receive a notice of date and time for appeal and the notice will include the Zoom connection details. Failure to attend the scheduled meeting will result in a $60.00 Non-attendance Fee being added to the Penalty Order.
The Screening Officer may approve/decline the request for additional time to pay in writing or may schedule a virtual screening meeting. Should a virtual meeting be scheduled, the notice of date and time and Zoom connection details will be emailed to you. Failure to attend the scheduled meeting will result in a $60.00 Non-attendance Fee being added to the Penalty Order.
In processing the request for additional time to pay, the Screening Officer may request to review financial income documentation such as a copy of your previous year’s Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment, other proof of income such as Old Age Security, pension income (CPP, disability or other pensions), student assistance program and any child or spousal support orders. The process will depend on the totality of the Penalty Order and the amount of time a person is requesting to pay the totality of the Penalty Order.
