New applications and renewal
Apply online or in person through the FVRD service. Existing owners normally receive the renewal invoice by the end of November. The licence expires December 31, regardless of when it was paid.
A 30% penalty applies to renewal payments received after December 31. Do not assume a permanent metal tag means the annual fee has been paid.

Standard fees depend on whether the dog is spayed or neutered. Nuisance, aggressive and dangerous classifications have separate higher fees, listed in the comparison table. A licence transfer costs $5 and tag replacement $7.
The listed fine for an unlicensed dog is $200. Licence revenue supports officers, complaint response, lost-dog care, patrols and adoption services.

Keep the account useful
Tell FVRD when your address changes or you no longer have the dog. An accurate licence record helps officers contact you when a dog is found.
For the first pickup of a dog wearing its licence tag, FVRD describes a free ride home. That is not a general promise that every impound or repeat pickup is free.
