Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions we get about licensing in the Town of Ingersoll.

Currently, every owner of a dog in the Town of Ingersoll shall, within thirty (30) days following residency in the Town or from the date a dog comes into his or her possession, cause the dog to be licensed and registered in the Town Municipal Office for a period which will expire on the last day of December 2025. Every owner shall pay the license fee prescribed in the current adopted User’s Fees By-law adopted by Council.

Effective January 1, 2026, you are no longer required to purchase a dog tag from the Town of Ingersoll. The requirement of pet owners to identify their dog will now be the responsibility of the pet owner. Each owner is to obtain their own tag with owner contact information clearly displayed, or purchase a microchip for permanent identification of their dog.

Barking dogs are an annoyance and a nuisance. Barking falls under the Noise By-Law which is enforced by the O.P.P.

If you are registered as a dog owner and no longer have a dog, PLEASE notify the Town Office of the change.
