Dog Licence

​Did you know that every dog owner in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent is required to purchase a dog licence tag for their dog(s) each year? A dog licence tag is required for dogs over the age of four (4) months. Residents may not have more than three (3) dogs per premises.

To avoid a late penalty, please note tags are to be purchased by March 31st of each year.

Dog licence tag(s) can be purchased at any Municipal Office, by mail or over the phone.

Purchase over the phone between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard and American Express accepted) by calling 519-360-1998. When calling, make sure you have your mailing address and your dog's information available.

Purchase a tag by mail by downloading a Dog Registration Form and submit with payment to:

The Municipality of Chatham-Kent
