Why do I need a dog license?
The municipality has a dog control By-Law 2019-08 regarding restraining and regulating the running at large of dogs and dangerous dogs and to provide for impounding, fines and destroying of dogs and dangerous dogs. As a requirement of the By-Law, any dog over the age of six (6) months shall obtain a license for each such dog annually. The licensing year is from January to December. Dog licenses expire on the 31st day of December. No owner shall keep more than two dogs at the same time unless the owner has been given permission by written approval from the Chief Administrative Officer. The decision by the Chief Administrative Officer shall be final and not subject to appeal.
