Denmark raises dog licensing fees, adds $10 late fee effective April 1
Summary
The board adopted a revision to Local Law 5 of 2010 increasing the fee for spayed/neutered dogs to $15 (including a $1 surcharge) and unspayed/unneutered dogs to $25 (including a $3 surcharge); a $10 late fee applies with no grace period. The changes take effect April 1, 2026.
Supervisor Scott Doyle presented Resolution 35 revising dog licensing fees under Local Law 5 of 2010 and the Town Board approved the changes on a unanimous roll-call vote. The resolution sets the fee for licensing a spayed or neutered dog at $15 (including a $1 surcharge for population control) and an unspayed or unneutered dog at $25 (including a $3 surcharge); it also imposes a $10 late fee with no grace period and becomes effective April 1, 2026.
Dog Control Officer Lindsay Hess noted staffing difficulties for per-diem deputy positions and had previously recommended fee changes; the Board adopted the resolution as the mechanism for updated fees and required posting and a press release on local websites prior to the effective date.
