Laguna Beach, California

§ 6.06.040 Registration fee.

A fee shall be paid annually to the city for each registration required by this chapter, as provided by resolution. The period of time for which registration shall be issued may vary from twelve months to thirty-six months. Registration may be issued for new residents, newly acquired dogs, or puppies at four months of age for periods of time less than the minimum twelve-month period if the animal’s rabies certificate expires sooner than the minimum registration period. Proof of new residency, purchase date of dog or dog’s age must be presented for prorating of the fee. Any person whose dog has been spayed or neutered is eligible for a one-time fee exempt license for up to two years, provided that a certificate of sterilization issued by a licensed veterinarian is presented with the registration application and the dog has been previously licensed by Laguna Beach animal services before it was spayed or neutered. Such fee shall not apply to any dog while kept or maintained exclusively within a commercial kennel or by a recognized animal rescue organization.
