It applies in the City of Enderby and in the part of Electoral Area F where the City runs dog control. The City says dog licences are sold at City Hall, 619 Cliff Avenue. Fees are in Schedule 5 of the Fees and Charges Bylaw.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Choose an annual or lifetime licence.\n2. Go to City Hall with your name, address and phone number and a description of the dog. The City may ask for proof that the dog is spayed or neutered; you need it for the lower fee.\n3. Pay the fee. A licence is not transferable between dogs.\n4. Have the dog wear the tag on a collar or harness when it is off its premises.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Renewal date: the Dog Control Bylaw says to apply on or before January 1. The Fees and Charges Bylaw says on or before March 1. The $10 late fee applies to applications after March 1. The bylaw date is the safer one; confirm with the City.\n- If you buy an unaltered-dog licence and show within 15 days that the dog has been altered, the City refunds the difference.\n- No licence: a bylaw notice is $50 ($25 if paid within 14 days). A municipal ticket is $50 ($25 if paid within 30 days). A dog not wearing its licence has the same amounts.\n- The City's pages mention only City Hall; no online or mail option is stated.
