How it works
The District issues licences and tags under its Animal Control and Pound Operation Bylaw No. 1475. 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.
Steps
- Fill in the Dog Licence Application on the District's Pet Licensing page.
- 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.
- Put the tag on your dog's collar or harness.
- 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.
