# 100 Mile House dog licences: fees and how to get one

**Question:** How do I get a dog licence, and what does it cost?

**Short answer:** In 100 Mile House, the District issues dog licences. A dog licence costs $30 for a spayed or neutered dog and $50 for one that is not. Apply with the online form on the District's Pet Licensing page.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (District of 100 Mile House, https://www.100milehouse.com)  
**Cost:** $30 for a neutered male or spayed female dog; $50 for any other dog. A dog not four months old until after June 30, or moved into the District after June 30, pays $20 or $35. Free if applied for by February 28 in a licensing year. Replacement licence or tag $2.50. Free for a registered guide or service dog.  
**How long:** Bylaw 1475 says a licence and tag last for the dog's lifetime, but the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page still mention a licensing year. Ask the District whether you must renew each year.  
**Where:**
- Online: Dog Licence Application (online form on the Pet Licensing page), https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/pet-licensing
- Phone: District of 100 Mile House office (changes to pet or contact details), 250-395-2434 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
- Email: District of 100 Mile House, info@100milehouse.com

- **Fee, spayed or neutered:** $30 for a neutered male or spayed female dog ($20 if the dog is not four months old until after June 30, or moved into the District after June 30). Free if applied for by February 28 in a licensing year. The schedule does not say if the fee is yearly; Bylaw 1475 says a licence lasts the dog's lifetime. (Sources differ: Bylaw 1475 s. 4.3 makes a licence valid for the lifetime of the dog, but the fee schedule (Bylaw 1434, consolidated April 2026) still speaks of a 'licensing year' and a February 28 free-application date. The District's Pet Licensing page repeats the fees and the February 28 rule but cites old Animal Control Bylaw 1131 and 1031 (repealed by 1475, s. 23.1). Unclear whether the fee is yearly or once.)

- **Fee, not spayed or neutered:** $50 for a male dog other than a neutered male or a female dog other than a spayed female ($35 if the dog is not four months old until after June 30, or moved in after June 30). Free if applied for by February 28. Bylaw 1475 says a licence lasts the dog's lifetime; the schedule does not say if the fee is yearly.

- **Renewal:** Under Bylaw 1475 a licence and tag are valid for the lifetime of the dog, so no yearly renewal is set by the bylaw.

## How it works

The District issues licences and tags under its [Animal Control and Pound Operation Bylaw No. 1475](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-11/Bylaw%201475%20Animal%20Control%20and%20Pound%20Operations.pdf>). 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>).

## Steps

1. Fill in the Dog Licence Application on the District's [Pet Licensing page](https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/pet-licensing).
2. 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.
3. Put the tag on your dog's collar or harness.
4. If your pet or contact details change, call or email the District.

## Good to know

- 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.
- Applying or renewing by February 28 in a licensing year is free, according to the fee schedule and the Pet Licensing page.
- A licence cannot be moved to another dog, and a new owner must get a new licence. No transfer fee is stated.
- A registered guide dog or service dog is licensed free.
- 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.
- 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.
