Short answer

In Peachland, dog licences are issued by the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO), not the District. Every dog over three months old needs one. The fee is $40 a year for a spayed or neutered dog and $80 for one that is not, with $20 off if paid by the end of February.

How it works

The RDCO runs dog licensing and control for Peachland under its Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw 1343. Every dog over three months old that has lived in the Central Okanagan for more than 30 days needs a licence, and it must wear its tag. The fee is $40 a year for a spayed or neutered dog (a vet's proof is needed) and $80 for a dog that is not, with $20 off if paid by the last day of February.

Steps

Apply online through the RDCO's online services portal (linked from the RDCO dog licences page), at Peachland Municipal Hall (5806 Beach Avenue, 250-767-2647), or at the RDCO office (1450 KLO Road, Kelowna, 250-763-4918).
For the spayed or neutered fee, bring proof from your vet.
Renew each year. The bylaw says to get or renew by the last day of February.
Put the tag on your dog.

Good to know

A replacement tag is $5. Guide and service dogs pay nothing, and a licence from another local government transfers free.
The RDCO page shows the $40 fee under a "save $20" banner for registering before March 1. The bylaw reads as $40 less $20 if paid by the end of February. Confirm the exact amount with RDCO.
No licence: a bylaw notice (Bylaw 1538) is $300, and a municipal ticket (Bylaw 1537) is $300. The schedule's early payment discount column shows $150 and its late payment surcharge column shows $25. The RDCO table says it is for reference only, so confirm the amount.
