§ 98-1. Fees; exemptions. 

A. A person applying for an annual license and registration tag shall pay to the Township a total of $16.70 for each dog if said license is applied for on or before March 31 of said year. Said fee includes a one-dollar registration tag fee and a twenty-cent pilot clinic fund fee. A person applying for a license and registration tag after April 1 of any given year shall be assessed an additional five-dollar late fee per license. If a person applying for the license and registration tag presents a certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian stating that the dog has been spayed or neutered, the annual fee shall be reduced by $3. Each license and tag shall be renewed annually, unless a three-year license has been purchased at a fee of three times the annual license fee. Of the above fees, for each dog and for each year, the one-dollar registration tag fee, the twenty-cent pilot clinic fund fee and the three-dollar spaying/neutering fee, if applicable, shall be forwarded to the State of New Jersey as required by N.J.S.A. 4:19-15.1 et seq., and the remainder of the total fees shall be the license fee retained by the Township. Each license tag shall be renewed either prior to or upon the expiration of the license previously issued, and for each animal renewal, a fee for the license and registration tag shall be paid. Said license and registration tags and renewal thereof shall expire on December 31 of each year and can be renewed after January 1 of the new year.
