The City of Bonney Lake contracts with Metro Animal Services and does not maintain records of prior licenses; records are maintained by Metro Animal Services. If your animal has been altered (i.e., spayed or neutered), and/or micro-chipped please bring proof of alteration and/or micro-chipping when paying in person so we may give you the discounted fee. If you are unsure of your residency status, view the City Limits Map.
Per BLMC 6.04, "adult dog or cat" means any dog or cat over the age of six months.
