DOG LICENSE FEES
August 17, 1989
Since the last dog license fees were revised in 1981 Animal Control Division
has implemented the following programs:
*Computerized Licensing Program
More efficient records
Access to owner information on a 24 hour basis
*Mail-in License Program
Reminder for owners to purchase license
More effective rabies prevention control
The costs of these programs as well as yearly inflation factors should be
passed on to the dog owners in the increase for processing the current dog
licenses.
The deliquent dog license fee increase is in line with the local and
surrounding municipalities and will offset the annual Dog Census Program.

TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF OOMMISSICNIMS
Mr. Chairperson, Tadies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to rule XI -G of this Board, the Finance Committee has
reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #89225 and finds:
1) Animal Control Division requested the following rate
increase for dog licensing fees:
Current Proposed Increase % Increase
Spayed/Neutered Dogs $ 5.00/dog $ 5.50/dog $ .50 10%
Female/Male Dogs $ 7.50 $ 8.50 1.00 13%
Delinquent Dogs $15.00 $20.00 5.00 33%
2) A rate increase is recommended due to increased costs at Animal
Control resulting from inflation and damages to persons and
property (caused by dogs).
3) The Rate increase is effective December 1, 1989 and has little
effect on 1989 revenues, therefore no budget amendment is
recommended.
4) The new rates have been incorporated in the 1990/91 biennial
budget.
