Ingham County Michigan Kennel Licenses
Ingham County Michigan Kennel Licenses - OUTLAWS
Ingham County kennel license fees are in line with the Michigan Dog Law of 1919, but then they tack on an "inspection fee" and require a kennel license where the law states "in lieu of individual licenses".
.
Ingham County kennel license fees are in line with the Michigan Dog Law of 1919, but then they tack on an "inspection fee" and require a kennel license where the law states "in lieu of individual licenses".
.
From their outrageously illegal Animal Control Ordinance:
.
"Section 8. ................ In addition to the kennel license fee a inspection fee shall be charged for every inspection of a kennel at a rate of $20.00 for ten (10) or less dogs and $25.00 for more than ten (10) dogs. Failure to obtain such kennel license shall be punished as set forth in Article X, of this Ordinance."
That appears to have been increased at least once:
MAY 24, 2005 REGULAR MEETING
Animal Control Ten Dog Kennel Inspection Fee 42.00
Animal Control Over Ten Dog Kennel Inspection Fee 48.00
"Section 8. ................ In addition to the kennel license fee a inspection fee shall be charged for every inspection of a kennel at a rate of $20.00 for ten (10) or less dogs and $25.00 for more than ten (10) dogs. Failure to obtain such kennel license shall be punished as set forth in Article X, of this Ordinance."

Then there is this from the minutes of the board of commissioners meetings:
Then there is this from the minutes of the board of commissioners meetings:
MAY 11, 2006
c) The Animal Control department agreed with all initial proposed fees except for the Kennel Inspections. The department has restructured the Kennel Inspection format to ensure the kennels licensed in Ingham County are providing adequate conditions as dictated by the State of Michigan. More staff time and paperwork is now dedicated to complete the inspections and observations and meticulous report writing is now required. The required resources have more than doubled as compared to a year ago.

Excuse me..excuse me.......... what a load of crap! These people invent a way to extricate money out of kennel owners, go 'around' the law (basically because they think a kennel should pay more than the law allows) now they figure out ways to "double the cost"??? Meticulous report writing INDEED! CRAP. NOTHIN' BUT CRAP!

More of interest from Ingham County:

INGHAM COUNTY especially annoys me, sitting right there under the wings of Michigan State government. Just absolutely disgusting!

has amongst the higher individual dog license fees
at $8 for altered and $25 for unaltered ..update 12/2008
at $10 for altered and $30 for unaltered
(there are only 4 counties higher-now only 2)
I don't see where they have their own ordinance, so they must be enforcing the Dog Law of 1919, at least in theory. What they have written on their website makes no claim to be an "ordinance" nor does it refer to the Dog Law of 1919. They charge for a replacement tag, which violates the Dog Law of 1919.
Then there is the Kennel license page..........
After that....what a piece of work this is!!!!!!!!
.
Then they tack on these kennel inspection fees
3-10 dogs $40
11-30 dogs $65
31 + dogs $105
These people just can’t stand it. They have to add something of their own!
They add this, as well.
Kennel License inspections and sales are done in the month of May. If you did not have a kennel license the previous year, than you must notify Kalamazoo County Animal Services of your request for a Kennel License in April. Bullshit! You may apply at any time, it is the law!
If you did not have a kennel license for the previous year, you must first check with your local Township Office to make sure that the Township will allow you to operate a kennel at your location, and provide written permission for a kennel from your Township. Bullshit! The township has nothing to do with it, it is the law! The law says the treasurer shall issue the license and there is nothing in the law that gives the treasurer authority to do anything else! Call this abuse of authority by an elected official.

11-30 dogs $65
31 + dogs $105

First time Kennel operators applying for a Kennel License, must have all dogs on the property currently licensed by March 1st . Bullshit! You apply at any time! Any dogs on the property without a current license between March 1st and the date of a Kennel License being issued will be considered delinquent and may be subject to the delinquent fines. Bullshit! Not if you have applied for a kennel license!
Once a Kennel License is issued, it will be valid until the same time next year.
Pardon my "French", but this is just totally outrageous! ! ! and All violations of the Michigan Dog Law of 1919.
You don’t have to wait until April and have all your dogs licensed already by then. What a piece of work. These people are really bloodthirsty! This means, according to them, you have to pay double/triple for the first year. That isn't the way it works! This is just so outrageous.
According to them you would pay

According to them you would pay
1. Indiviudal dog license fees plus (new 2008 rate makes this a bit expensive)
2. inspection fees plus
3. kennel license fees.
.
For the first year. NO...........that is not the way it works.
.
How can they possibly believe they have the legal authority to do that?
>
>
You may apply for a kennel license anytime during the year. If granted (and they really cannot easily refuse to grant a kennel license) that means your dogs are licensed from Jan 1 to Dec 31, irregardless of when you actually get the license. You don't have to license a dog twice in one year! IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A KENNEL LICENSE, YOU RENEW IT BY JUNE 1 AND NO INSPECTION IS REQUIRED. There is nothing in the Dog Law of 1919 that grants authority to charge an inspection fee.
.
The township has nothing to do with it. You apply to the county treasurer with inspection certificate (FOR A NEW KENNEL) and the county treasurer issues the license. That is the law! Everything else they are doing is a violation of the Michigan Dog Law of 1919!

The department of Agriculture was charged with promulgating reasonable rules for kennels.

That would be Admin Rule 285 129 1 and that is what you are inspected for.
To see that you comply with that rule before you are issued a license for a new kennel.

$25 for over 10 dogs
Van Buren County Animal Control Website is at
http://www.vbco.org/government0116.asp
Van Buren County doesn't appear to have their own ordinance, at least none is referred to on their webiste. This is what their website does say:
There is Clerk/Dispatcher and Kennel Staff on duty during the hours the facility is open, while three Animal Control Officers in radio-dispatched trucks. Officers cover 632 square miles of Van Buren County roads. In 1997, a dog census of Van Buren County was initiated by Animal Control and a Census Officer was hired fulltime to keep this on going year round. All domestic animal complaints are handled, ranging from the licensing of household pets to livestock running-at-large and animal cruelties. After hours and weekend calls are handled by officers using a pager, and are dispatched through the Sheriff's Department. In 2000, Animal Control handled 1852 animal complaints and 201 animal bites.
