Osoyoos lies on the border with Washington State, at the junction of Highways 3 and 97 in the South Okanagan. The Town of Osoyoos handles planning, building permits, business licences, bylaw enforcement and animal control, its water and sewer systems, the landfill, recreation facilities (Sonora Community Centre and Sun Bowl Arena) and the Osoyoos Fire Department. Curbside garbage and recycling collection is by Waste Connections of Canada Inc., the Town's service provider. RCMP policing is based in Osoyoos. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) serves the rural areas around the Town; the Town's animal control page says dog licences for dogs outside Town limits (RDOS Areas A and C) are bought from the RDOS. Marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences are provincial.
