Home...By-law EnforcementAnimal ControlDog Licences

All dogs in Brockton must be licenced each year and must wear their dog tag at all times.

Owners are allowed to keep a maximum of three (3) dogs. If you would like to keep more than three (3) dogs, you must apply for a Kennel Licence.

We encourage every owner to read Brockton's Dog Control By-Law 2020-082 which outlines regulations around dogs in Brockton.

All Dog Owners must keep their dogs on a leash and abide by "poop and scoop" regulations.

If you have any concerns about dogs in Brockton, contact our Animal Control Officer.

Registering Your Dog

In 2014, permanent dog tags were issued to all registered dogs in Brockton. From 2015 forward all registered dog owners receive their annual invoice by mail and dogs continue to wear their permanent tag. 

If you have a new dog or are a dog owner who is new to Brockton you must register and licence any dog greater than six (6) months old, with the Municipality on or before the 1st day of April in each and every year (or immediately after the dog reaches six (6) months of age where that takes place after April 1st).

Registration expires on the 31st day of December each year in which the same was issued. 

The Municipality shall keep a record of all dogs registered and tagged showing the owners name and address, description of dog and tag number. Dog owners listed on the register will be invoiced in January annually as per the fees prescribed by the Municipal Consolidated Fee By-Law. On the death, sale or other disposal of the dog, the tag shall be returned to the Municipality of Brockton prior to March 1 following the January invoices when the invoiced amount shall be cancelled. Any outstanding or late payments after March 1 shall be added to the final tax bill.

Please visit the Municipal Office to register your dog and receive your permanent dog tag.

If You No Longer Have a Dog

Upon the death, sale or other disposal of the dog, the tag shall be returned to the Municipality of Brockton prior to March 1 following the January invoices when the invoiced amount shall be cancelled. Any outstanding or late payments after March 1 shall be added to the final tax bill. Please inform the Municipality of Brockton if you no longer have a dog so we may update our registry.

Lost Tags
If your dog's tag is lost, please visit the Municipal Office to purchase a replacement tag. Fees for replacement tags are listed below. 
Fees

Dog licence fees are set annually and invoices are mailed to registered dog owners. Dog owners listed on the register will be invoiced in January annually as per the fees prescribed by the Municipal Consolidated Fee By-Law.

Upon the death, sale or other disposal of the dog, the tag shall be returned to the Municipality of Brockton prior to March 1 following the January invoices when the invoiced amount shall be cancelled. Any outstanding or late payments after March 1 shall be added to the final tax bill. 

Licence fees are due April 1 each year and a late fee is applied to each overdue tag.

In 2014, permanent dog tags were issued to all registered dogs in Brockton. From 2015 forward all registered dog owners receive their annual invoice by mail and dogs continue to wear their permanent tag.
