Dog Licence

Step 1 - Who Needs a Dog Licence

The City of Windsor is pleased to introduce a new voluntary Dog Licensing Program.

For $25 per year, you can register your dog, and, when you register online, you’ll also receive a $20 voucher for Ren’s Pets.

Dog ownership in Windsor is still governed by By-law 245-2004. If your pet has been designated for mandatory registration, you must purchase your tag in-person at City Hall

Step 2 - How to Apply
Online

Getting your dog's licence tag has never been easier! Apply online and each eligible licensed dog will receive a $20 voucher to Ren's Pets.

  • Access the online application here and create a MyWindsor account to experience a streamlined application. Or sign in with Google.
  • After the first application, you can access your past applications at any time, and future renewals will be simple: just click review/update your information and pay. Your MyWindsor account can also be used for other City of Windsor online services too.
  • Once your MyWindsor account is created, you may change it at any time in the MyWindsor Portal. This includes the ability to link your account to Google.
Don't want to create an account or access past applications? No problem, we are still offering the online service without an account.
