Lee County committee confirms plan to increase animal tag fees, effective June 1, 2025
Summary
Animal control staff told the committee they will implement a modest increase to registration fees, effective June 1, 2025, to align with fees in other counties; County Services has approved forwarding the resolution to the board.
Animal control staff told the County Services Committee the committee-approved resolution will adjust animal registration fees beginning June 1, 2025, with most fees rising by $2 to align with neighboring counties.
Terry (surname not specified), the animal control representative, said members would find fee schedule graphs in the meeting packet and noted an additional graph showing 2024 annual activity. He reported that a van recently acquired for animal control arrives this week and carries about 19,000 miles. When asked about the new registration costs, Terry said the adjustments were intended to keep Lee County “in the same realm as what the other counties are doing.”
A committee member asked whether the increased tag fees complied with state or intercounty practice; Terry replied they were consistent with other counties’ new fees. Committee staff confirmed the County Services Committee had approved the resolution at its prior meeting and that the resolution will proceed to the county board for final action.
The meeting record does not show a roll-call vote on the fee schedule at this meeting; committee members discussed the schedule and confirmed prior approval to forward the resolution to the board.
