That bylaw has no dog licence or tag provisions.

No other page we read says dogs must be licensed, so the Village does not state a licence, a fee, a renewal date or a penalty for an unlicensed dog.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Call the Village Office at 604-937-4100 or email belcarra@belcarra.ca to confirm whether any licence or registration applies to your dog.\n2. Read the limits and rules in the related answers on pets and leashes.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- If a dog is impounded, the impoundment fee is $200 for the first time, $400 for the second and $600 for the third or later, plus boarding and veterinary costs (Schedule 12).\n- A maximum of three dogs over four months old may be kept on any parcel.","sources":[{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2020/01/Bylaw-431-2010-Village-of-Belcarra-Animal-Control-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Animal Control Bylaw No. 431, 2010 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2026/07/Bylaw-517-2018-Fees-and-Charges-Bylaw-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 517, 2018 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/bylaws","title":"Bylaws, Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/contact-us/","title":"Contact Us, Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"draft","badge":"Read, nothing to quote","label":"This page records 8 facts as not set, which rests on a reading of the sources listed.
