Dog License Fees due

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

The City wants to remind residents that dog licenses must be obtained or renewed by Jan. 1 each year. For those that have not yet obtained or renewed their licenses, a $10 late application fee will be added to the license cost after March 31.

Licensing fees are:

• Spayed or neutered dog $10.00
• Unspayed or unneutered dog $20.00
• Late application fee (after March 31st) $10.00 plus regular license fee
• Replacement license tag $5.00
• Aggressive dog $200.00

“Dogs’ licenses are their ticket home,” says Senior Bylaw Officer Debbie Wood. “It’s not only required for every dog to have a license, but it helps connect lost dogs to their owners more quickly, as well as other benefits.”

Dog owners are also asked to ensure contact information with the City is up to date. A dog’s license is valid for one year, from January 1st to December 31st. A portion of the money collected for dog licensing goes to the Williams Lake BCSPCA. Licenses can be obtained at City Hall, 450 Mart Street, or at Total Pet, 32 Broadway Avenue.
