## How it works

The Village of Fraser Lake issues dog licences. The [Dog Licenses page](https://www.fraserlake.ca/node/463) says licences are required for all dogs over the age of 6 months and to get one you visit the Village office. The licence bylaw itself is not posted on the Village website.

The fees below are in Schedule 3 of the [Fees and Charges Bylaw 881](https://www.fraserlake.ca/media/520), which comes into force January 1, 2027. They do not differ for spayed or neutered dogs.

## Steps

1. Go to the Village office at 210 Carrier Cres. on a weekday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
2. Ask for a licence for your dog.
3. From January 1, 2027: a new dog is $0, and renewal from January 1 to March 31 is $0. Renewal from April 1 to December 31 is $20.

## Good to know

- A replacement tag in the same year is $10 from January 1, 2027. The $20 and $10 fees are subject to CPI (the consumer price index). No discounts are listed.
- The fees now in force are not shown in the posted text, so call before you go.
- The posted pages do not state when a licence expires, whether you can apply online, or the fine for an unlicensed dog. Ask the Village office (250-699-6257).
