All dogs living in the Township of Langley must have a dog licence, which must be renewed annually. Dog licensing helps

reunite lost dogs with their owners through registration and a provided dog tag
support the local animal shelter, and
contribute to dog-related services and regulation within the community

The annual licensing period is January 1 to December 31. Renew your dog’s license by the due date annually to qualify for a reduced rate.

A new permanent dog tag will be issued for 2026. The phone number has been updated on the tag. Please change out the old permanent tag with the new permanent tag when you receive the tag in the mail.
