All dogs in West Grey require dog tags which can be purchased at the municipal office. Dog tags are permanent but the annual fee must be paid each year. This program works with dog owners to promote responsible dog ownership and provide a useful tool in case a dog goes missing.

Fees are due each year by March 31 and cost more depending on how many dogs are owned.

Before March 31: 

  • First dog: $20.00
  • Second dog: $30.00
  • Third dog: $40.00
  • Fourth dog + additional dogs after: $50.00

After March 31: 

  • First dog: $25.00
  • Second dog: $35.00
  • Third dog: $45.00
  • Fourth dog + additional dogs after: $55.00

There is a $85.00 reclamation fee for any dog. Unpaid tags will be added to tax bills.
Tags are not transferable between municipalities.
