Good to know
- Paying online does not complete the licensing. You still have to submit the form and photo and pick up the tag.
- 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.
- The Village's page does not give a lower fee for spayed or neutered dogs, and no late, replacement or transfer fees.
- 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.
