New Dog Control By-Law Adopted
Richmond County Municipal Council has adopted the Dog Control By-law, By-law # 70, during its Regular Council Meeting held on June 24, 2025, and it is now in effect.
This new By-law is designed to update and strengthen regulations around dog ownership in Richmond County. It includes important changes to:
✅ Licensing
✅ Enforcement
✅ Owner responsibilities
We encourage all dog owners to review the updated regulations and ensure compliance to help keep our communities safe and respectful for everyone.
New Lifetime & Puppy Registration
As part of the new By-law, lifetime dog registration has been introduced.
- Puppies under one year old must still be registered with an initial registration fee.
- Once the dog turns one year old, owners will then pay the lifetime registration fee.
Is your dog already registered for 2025?
You won’t need to pay the new lifetime registration fee until April 1, 2026.
