All registered dog owners receive their annual invoice by mail and dogs will 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 tag was issued. 

Please visit the Municipal Office to register your dog and receive your permanent dog tag or fill out the Dog Tag Form and submit to the By-Law Enforcement Officer.

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.

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

Dog license 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. 

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