All Lifetime Dog Licences expire on December 31 of each year. Note: Selwyn Township requires proof of rabies immunization in order to issue a Lifetime Dog Licence.
Residents can now apply for a new tag or pay your invoice online by signing up or signing in to Virtual Town Hall.
All invoices will be billed at the $20.00 annual unaltered rate unless proof is provided. Payments are due by March 31st each year. Late payments will include a $10.00 fee. Fees will not be refunded or re-evaluated throughout the year.
