No one may keep a dog unless it has a valid licence, and the tag must stay on the dog's collar, harness or other suitable device. The bylaw sets no minimum age for a licensed dog. Fees are in the [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Bylaw%201434%20Fees%20%20Charges%20Consolidated.pdf>).\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Fill in the Dog Licence Application on the District's [Pet Licensing page](https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/pet-licensing).\n2. Pay the fee. The pages we read do not say where or how to pay, so call 250-395-2434 or email info@100milehouse.com to ask.\n3. Put the tag on your dog's collar or harness.\n4. If your pet or contact details change, call or email the District.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Bylaw 1475 says a licence lasts the dog's lifetime, but the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page still refer to a licensing year. Confirm with the District before you assume you never need to renew.\n- Applying or renewing by February 28 in a licensing year is free, according to the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page.\n- A licence cannot be moved to another dog, and a new owner must get a new licence. No transfer fee is stated.\n- A registered guide dog or service dog is licensed free.\n- A dog without its tag can bring a bylaw notice of $100 ($50 if paid within 14 days, $110 after 28 days). The schedule has no separate row for an unlicensed dog.\n- An impounded dog costs $25 the first time, $50 the second, $150 the third and $250 the fourth and later, plus $15 a day, plus the licence fee if it is unlicensed.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/pet-licensing","title":"Pet Licensing, District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Bylaw%201475%20Animal%20Control%20and%20Pound%20Operations.pdf","title":"Animal Control and Pound Operation Bylaw No. 1475, 2026 (PDF), District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Bylaw%201434%20Fees%20%20Charges%20Consolidated.pdf","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434, 2024, consolidated (PDF), District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-09/2026_Sept_8_Regular_Agenda_PKG_2.pdf","title":"Council agenda package, September 8, 2026, Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 1429 Schedule A (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 9 of 9 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/dog-licence/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/dog-licence.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/dog-licence.json"}}
