Port Moody's Pound Bylaw No. 1050 requires that all dogs over the age of 6 months wear a current year's dog licence tag. Dog licences can be purchased at the following locations:
- Port Moody City Hall, 100 Newport Drive
- After hours by using the Finance drop box at the rear of City Hall
- By mail through Port Moody City Hall, Box 36, Port Moody, BC V3H 3E1
For more information on dog licensing or animal control in general please contact the City of Port Moody Bylaw Enforcement staff at 604-469-4697 or 604-469-4541.
To obtain a dog licence, download and print the  Dog licence application form. Although this form reads as a "renewal" form it can also be used for first time licence applications. Please ensure you enclose the applicable licence fee, either a cheque or money order (please do not send cash), and the licence and tag will be mailed to you. The information you supply will be used to make the renewal of the following year's licence. A renewal reminder card will be sent out at the end of the year to assist you in renewing the dog licence on time. New applicants must provide a veterinarian's certificate as proof of spaying or neutering (not required for renewals).
