How it works

The Village of Granisle licenses dogs under its Dog, Animal Control and Licensing Bylaw No. 339. The owner of a dog three months old or more must get and keep a licence for it. The licence year runs from January 1 to December 31.

Steps

  1. Go to the Village Office and buy the licence. A tag is issued when you pay.
  2. For the $5 fee, bring a veterinarian's certificate or a statutory declaration showing the dog is spayed or neutered.
  3. Get or renew the licence before the year begins. A dog that turns three months old during the year is licensed then.

Good to know

  • A dog that arrived in the Village, or turned three months old, after September 1 pays half the regular fee.
  • One registered guide dog of a blind owner is licensed free.
  • A replacement tag is $5.
  • A vicious dog licence is $200 a year.
  • An unlicensed dog can bring a $50 ticket.
  • The official pages do not mention an online or mail option. Ask the Village Office, 250.697.2248.
  • The bylaw is dated 2001 and no later amendment was found, so confirm the fees with the Village Office.
