Note:

The tax may increase significantly for the second and each additional dog or for certain breeds. For more information, please contact your municipality.

You can register your dog in person or in writing.

You can use the form "Registration for dog tax", which is available at the municipalities. Depending on what your municipality offers, the form may also be available for download on the internet.

The registration must take place immediately after you have acquired the dog or you have moved into the municipality. The dog tax statutes usually provide for a registration period of 14 days.

Where applicable, the following are exempt from tax

• Guide dogs,
• Service dogs,
• Herding dogs, and
• Dogs belonging to forestry workers and certified gamekeepers

Please enquire about the exact details in your municipality.

Irrespective of the possibility of exemption, according to prevailing opinion, the municipality may not levy dog tax on commercially used dogs (e.g. in the context of commercial dog breeding). There is therefore no need for an explicit exemption in the dog tax statutes.

Breeding dogs that are not kept in the context of commercial dog breeding are not generally exempt from tax, although tax reductions are sometimes provided for (so-called kennel tax). Further details can be found in the respective dog tax statutes.
