Dog Control
Soon, BsGW will once again conduct door-to-door checks on dog ownership. The inspection will be carried out by Legitiem controllers. They will ring doorbells to verify dog ownership. If a controller visits your home, they can provide identification. Ask to see their ID.
Is your dog registered?
Anyone who owns one or more dogs is liable for tax. It is legally required to report this. The number of dogs at an address determines the tax amount. The dog tax rate is set by the municipality.
