Changes to the dog tax

Higher tax rate for fighting dogs and keeping more than one dog from 2024

Dog tax is payable for dogs over four months old. The amount is always due on March 15. In November 2023, the city council decided on some changes to the tax rates, which will apply from 01.01.2024.

The cost for the first dog will continue to be 75 euros per year, while each additional dog will now be charged 100 euros. A tax rate of 600 euros per year must be paid for each fighting dog.

All residents of Hof affected by the change will soon receive a new dog tax notice. Detailed information can be found in the dog tax statutes.

Anyone who has not yet registered their four-legged friend with the city of Hof can do so with the staff of the city treasury in the town hall, Klosterstraße 3, room 223. Information can be obtained by telephone on 09281 / 815 - 1322.
