              Depending on your municipality, you will need to pay the dog tax annually or biannually. The amount varies, ranging from 30 to 190 euros per year, with smaller communities generally charging less than larger cities. The tax for a second dog is often higher than for the first.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

              If your dog dies, you give it away, or you move to a new municipality, you must deregister your dog within two weeks. The deregistration process is similar to registration and can often be done online. Required documents include:<\/p>

              • Death certificate from the vet (for death)<\/li>
              • Copy of the handover contract (for giving away)<\/li>
