Denmark raises dog licensing fees, adds $10 late fee effective April 1
Summary
The Town Board increased the spayed/neutered dog license to $15 and unspayed/unneutered to $25, introduced surcharges for population control, and set a $10 late fee with no grace period; changes take effect April 1, 2026 after a press release and website posting.
The town adopted Resolution 35 of 2026 to revise Local Law 5 of 2010 concerning dog licensing fees and late fees.
Under the resolution, the fee for licensing a spayed or neutered dog is set at $15 (including a $1 population-control surcharge) and licensing an unspayed or unneutered dog is $25 (including a $3 surcharge). The board also set a $10 late fee for licensing after the current license expires and specified there is no grace period. The fee changes take effect April 1, 2026, after posting a press release on Linking Lewis County and the Town of Denmark website.
Dog Control Officer Lindsay Hess had recommended revising fees; the board approved the change unanimously on roll call.
