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".

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

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!
