How it works

The Township itself issues dog licences under its Animal Control Bylaw No. 6140, with fees in the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 4616. The Township of Langley is a separate municipality from the City of Langley. The Langley Animal Protection Society cares for impounded animals, but the Township's pages do not say it issues licences. A first-time application needs a veterinary certificate of spay or neuter if you want the lower fee.

Steps

New licence: use "Apply for a dog licence online" on the Dog Licences page. Renewal: sign in to your MyTownship account.
