We cannot say from the bylaw how a dog is declared dangerous or what an owner must do.\n\nThe Thompson-Nicola Regional District's [dangerous dog service](<https://www.tnrd.ca/services/community-services/dangerous-dogs/>) does not cover municipalities, so for a property in Lytton you contact the Village.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Report a dangerous dog to the Village Office at 250-455-2355.\n2. In an emergency or if someone is hurt, call 911. The Lytton RCMP non-emergency line is 250-455-2225.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- A dangerous or guard dog licence is $105. Impoundment of a licensed dangerous or guard dog is $100, and of an unlicensed one $110.\n- The Village's Fees and Charges Bylaw lists a $250 fine for a Section 7 (Dangerous Dog) offence.\n- The Village's pages do not say who takes dog bite reports.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.lytton.ca/media/1823","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 696, 2018, Schedule B Animal Fees (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.tnrd.ca/services/community-services/dangerous-dogs/","title":"Dangerous Dog Control, Thompson-Nicola Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.lytton.ca/local-government/contact-us","title":"Contact Us, Village of Lytton","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.lytton.ca/local-government/bylaws-policies","title":"Bylaws & Policies, Village of Lytton","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lytton/dangerous-dogs/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lytton/dangerous-dogs.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lytton/dangerous-dogs.json"}}
