Dog Licences

NOTICE: City of Port Moody dog licence invoices were e-billed in early January 2025, with a payment deadline of February 3, 2025. The 2024 dog licenses will remain valid until the payment deadline. To receive your e-bill, the licence account must be registered through your my.portmoody.ca account. If you are not registered, please contact the Licensing Division at licence@portmoody.ca. 

If your dog is four months or older, you’ll need to purchase a dog licence and renew it every year. Read our Animal Control Bylaw to learn more. 

Apply for a dog licence

Please send us a completed dog licence application found below. Payments can be made online, or in person at the second floor counter at City Hall (100 Newport Drive). We'll provide you with a permanent, bone-shaped metal tag for your dog. We do not issue new tags each year. 

City Hall hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm.
Please include a copy of the veterinarian's certificate of spaying or neutering with your application.
