Westampton, New Jersey

§ 88-1 License required.

No person or persons shall keep, harbor or maintain any dog or permit one to be kept, harbored or maintained within the Township of Westampton unless a license to keep such dog has first been obtained from the Township Clerk of said Township for such purpose.

§ 88-4 License fees.

A. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 4:19-15.1 et seq., the sum to be paid annually for a dog license shall be $13.80 and the further sum of $1 for the registration tag and a surcharge of $0.20 for low-cost spay-neuter clinic, or a total of $15. However, in the event that the fee for the registration tag is increased to an amount greater than $1 by the State of New Jersey, the fee for the registration tag set forth herein shall be automatically increased to said amount, and the total of the sum to be paid annually for a dog license shall be increased in a like amount. Furthermore, state law requires that an additional $3 shall be charged for any dog of reproductive age which has not had its reproductive capacity permanently altered through sterilization, to be known as a “surcharge of $3 for nonspayed and nonneutered dogs.” Dog owners who submit the required veterinarian certificate indicating that the dog has been spayed shall not be charged the $3.
