Bylaw Concern Form

Bylaw Concern Form

The NWT Cities Towns and Villages Act allows our community to create and enforce bylaws that address safety issues and concerns of our residents. All bylaws are passed by Mayor and Council. If you wish to report a bylaw violation, follow the Bylaw Concerns Form link at the bottom of this page or call the Bylaw Enforcement Officer at 867-872-0607.

Enforcement bylaws are listed in numerical order below. If you’re looking for information on bylaws you can’t find here, Call Fort Smith Town Hall at 867-872-8400.
