Late Fees To Be Applied to Dog Licensing Next Week

Tomorrow is the last day for dog owners to purchase dog tags before the late payment fee is applied!

The regular payment amount for dog tags is $25.00 each, for all dogs, whether or not they are microchipped. The User Fee Bylaw 2022-14 states that those who have not purchased a 2022 dog tag by the end of May will be charged the late payment amount of $40.00 per tag. The Animal Control Officers worked hard to contact as many residents as possible before the late payment period started, and it was decided to give residents until July before implementing the late payment fee.

As such, tomorrow is the last day to get your dog tags at the regular rate of $25.00 each.

The Dog Licensing and Kennel Bylaw states that there is a $100.00 fine for failing to have a dog license, which will be charged starting August 1, 2022.
