That bylaw has no dog licence or tag provisions. The [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 517, 2018]() (Schedule 12, Animal Control Fees) lists impoundment and chicken fees but no dog licence fee. 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. ## Steps 1. Call the Village Office at 604-937-4100 or email belcarra@belcarra.ca to confirm whether any licence or registration applies to your dog. 2. Read the limits and rules in the related answers on pets and leashes. ## Good to know - 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). - A maximum of three dogs over four months old may be kept on any parcel. ## Official forms and pages - [Animal Control Bylaw No. 431, 2010 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2020/01/Bylaw-431-2010-Village-of-Belcarra-Animal-Control-Consolidated.pdf) - [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 517, 2018 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2026/07/Bylaw-517-2018-Fees-and-Charges-Bylaw-Consolidated.pdf) - [Bylaws, Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/bylaws) ## Related questions - [Belcarra dog leash rules and off-leash areas](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/belcarra/dog-leash-rules.md) - [How many dogs or cats you can keep in Belcarra](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/belcarra/how-many-pets.md) - [Belcarra rules for aggressive and dangerous dogs](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/belcarra/dangerous-dogs.md) ## The same question elsewhere - [Dog licence fees in British Columbia, by municipality](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/dog-licence.md) - [Port Moody](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-moody/dog-licence.md) - [Anmore](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/anmore/dog-licence.md) - [Coquitlam](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/coquitlam/dog-licence.md) - [New Westminster](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/new-westminster/dog-licence.md) - [Burnaby](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/burnaby/dog-licence.md) - [Port Coquitlam](https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-coquitlam/dog-licence.md) ## Sources - [Animal Control Bylaw No. 431, 2010 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2020/01/Bylaw-431-2010-Village-of-Belcarra-Animal-Control-Consolidated.pdf) (read 2026-11-08) - [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 517, 2018 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2026/07/Bylaw-517-2018-Fees-and-Charges-Bylaw-Consolidated.pdf) (read 2026-11-08) - [Bylaws, Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/bylaws) (read 2026-11-08) - [Contact Us, Village of Belcarra](https://belcarra.ca/contact-us/) (read 2026-11-08) _This page records 8 facts as not set, which rests on a reading of the sources listed.
