How it works

The Dog Control Bylaw No. 1469 says no one may keep a dog without a licence. 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.

Steps

Choose an annual or lifetime licence.
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.
Pay the fee. A licence is not transferable between dogs.
Have the dog wear the tag on a collar or harness when it is off its premises.

Good to know

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.
If you buy an unaltered-dog licence and show within 15 days that the dog has been altered, the City refunds the difference.
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.
The City's pages mention only City Hall; no online or mail option is stated. Questions: 250-838-0233 or dogs@cityofenderby.com.
