Dog Licenses
Licensing your dog is important to help identify your dog should it become lost or injured. Last year, dog tag collectors went door to door issue new dog tags.
Dog tags are $15.00 per dog, per year. The tags will be valid for three years (Spring 2010 to Spring 2013
).
If you own property in the Township, the annual dog license fee of $15.00 per dog will be itemized and added to the final tax bill sent out every August. Tenants will be invoiced annually for the licensing fee.
Lost dog tags will be replaced free of charge. Please notify our office and the replacement tag will be mailed to you.
If you find a lost or injured dog, contact the number on the tag to make arrangements for the dog's safe return.
If you find a lost or injured dog after regular business hours, please contact Kismutt Small Dog Rescue at at 519-283-6585.
For reference, the Township's Dog Licensing By-law and Dog Control By-law are listed below:
