Dog License Lateness Not a Problem This Year After Fines
Late fines have compelled residents to get their licenses in on time.
Fines issued for people who failed to license their dogs on time have led to the appropriate outcome, City Clerk Betty Shockroo says. People are not missing the deadline this year.
The city council last year approved a rule creating the $25 fine for anybody who licenses a dog after June 1, which gives a two-month grace period after the actual deadlien of April 1. Some fines were handed out last year, but it appears there will not be any this year.
"People are not late this year," Shockroo said. "People who were late last year learned their lesson."

She added, "When we send out our notices to renew, they’re reminder letters. We let them know if the dog is not registered by May 31, on June 1 there is a $25 late fee."
