The Village Office issues the licence and the tag. The Village describes the $15 fee as a one-time flat fee per dog. Its page gives no expiry or renewal date.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Complete a Dog Licence Application Form. Ask the Village Office for it if you cannot find it on the Dog Licence Payment page.\n2. Submit a recent photo of the dog with the form.\n3. Pay the $15 fee.\n4. Pick up the tag at the Village Office, 36 Cedar Avenue West.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Paying online does not complete the licensing. You still have to submit the form and photo and pick up the tag.\n- The Village's Online Payments page said the payment portal was temporarily unavailable when we checked on November 8, 2026. Call the Village Office on 250-557-4295 first.\n- The Village's page does not give a lower fee for spayed or neutered dogs, and no late, replacement or transfer fees.\n- The Village's bylaw list does not include a dog licence bylaw, and we could not find the fine for an unlicensed dog. Ask the Village Office.","sources":[{"url":"https://portclements.ca/municipal-services/village-of-port-clements-online-payments/dog-licence-payment/","title":"Dog Licence Payment, Village of Port Clements","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://portclements.ca/municipal-services/village-of-port-clements-online-payments/","title":"Online Payments, Village of Port Clements","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://portclements.ca/contact-us/","title":"Contact Us, Village of Port Clements","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 6 of 9 facts was matched to the official text; 3 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/dog-licence/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/dog-licence.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/port-clements/dog-licence.json"}}
