Obtain a new dog tax sticker after losing it (replacement dog tax sticker)
  • Service description

    The dog tax is a local expense tax. It can be levied by the municipalities in accordance with municipal statutes for the keeping of dogs. The owner of a dog is anyone who has a dog in their household or business.

    The keeping of guide dogs, service dogs, dogs of forestry workers and gamekeepers, for example, may be exempt or reduced depending on the municipal statutes.

  • Procedure

    After registering the dog, dog tax stamps are issued, which must be returned when the dog is deregistered. The dog tax stamp must be carried and shown on request.

  • What fees are incurred?

    The amount of dog tax is determined by the municipalities in the local dog tax statutes/household statutes and therefore varies from municipality to municipality. Please refer to the respective municipal statutes for the exact amount.

  • What else should I know?

    When moving to another municipality, the dog owner is responsible for re-registration. Different amounts of dog tax may therefore be payable if the dog is re-registered in another municipality.

    Once you have deregistered the dog, you will receive a new tax assessment notice. You will then no longer have to pay tax for the dog. If you have already paid tax at the time of deregistration, you will receive a refund.
