Dog tax

The tax liability begins at the end of the calendar month in which the dog is acquired or becomes 4 months old.

Please deregister within 14 days of the reason for deregistration occurring. The tax liability ends at the end of the month in which the dog ownership is given up or terminated.

This applies to the following cases:

• Your dog has been euthanised or has died

• You have handed in your dog
• You have moved from your municipality of residence to another municipality
• Your dog has run away

Necessary documents

• if you move to another municipality, your new address
• in the event of the animal's death, the veterinary certificate
• a copy of the purchase contract if the animal is sold
• the receipt from the animal shelter when the animal is handed in
• Tax stamp (must be returned to the tax office when deregistering)

If a dog is handed over to another dog owner, this fact must be reported.

If you move, you must also register your dog at the new place of residence. If you move within the official area, please only inform us of your change of address.
