How do I get a dog licence in Belcarra, and what does it cost?

How it works

The Village runs its own animal control under the Animal Control Bylaw No. 431, 2010. 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.
