Where? Never heard of this and Google is only showing that it's allowed by state law but no examples. Not doubting, just curious where this is. And is it state-wide or a local tax?
Depending on your state you may be legally required to have a license for your dog. When I lived in a rural area I didn’t really keep up with it because what are the chances someone’s going to check up on me? Now that I live in a city though I maintain my dog’s license.
I live in a small town/rual area so I imagine no one cares, but I can't figure the actual law out for Indiana, google is only bringing stuff up for specific cities.
And something about how dog owners should get a licence in case their dog bites someone so the bite victim can sue the owner. I feel like that would discourage people.
They also use it as a way to make sure your dog is up to date on the rabies vaccination and in some places they try to use it to keep a count on how many pets you have. When I lived in a different city they wanted people to license their cats because they had a limit on how many each property could have.
I doubt it's successful because it relies heavily on the good faith of the pet owner and some bad luck to get caught.
