Dog Licences

If you own a dog in the Municipality of South Bruce, you’ll need to apply for a dog licence by February 28, each year. A dog licence can help us identify and return lost dogs within the community.

Please contact the Municipal Office to purchase a dog licence.  Our online service is currently down.

After you purchase a dog licence, you’ll receive a dog tag that you will place on your dog’s collar. 

Fees

The following licensing fees apply:

• $20 for your first dog
• $50 for your second dog and any additional dog
• $150 for a kennel licence
• $75 to reclaim an animal
• $150 to run a boarding establishment (paid annually)
• $200 for a dangerous dog

If your annual dog licence renewal is not paid by April 30, you will be charged double the original fee. View our Animal Control By-law for full details about dog licensing and fees.

There is a $150 fine for not registering your dog with the municipality.

Replacement tags

If you lose or break your dog tag, you can purchase a replacement tag for $10.
