Pay a pet fee at home? Eibar is considering that possibility
The Eibar City Council, made up of PSE-EE and PNV, is considering establishing a "symbolic" registration fee for our animals, which in some municipalities of the Spanish state already charge between 10 and 50 euros for dog registration.
The City Council of the Valley (Gipuzkoa), made up of PSE-EE and PNV, is considering establishing a rate for the registration of domestic animals, according to information collected byChain Ser\u00A0.
In fact, the City Council's cleaning costs have been increasing year after year, as the number of dogs has increased, so the proceeds from this fee would be used to clean the streets , a fee which, in the words of the PNV spokesman in Eibar, would be"symbolic" .
In general, there is currently no general rate for the registration of an animal in the CSC and Navarre, but there are costs associated with the microchip, such as fines for abandonment and fines for staying in animal protection centres, and it is mandatory to register the animal (dog, cat or ferret) in the REGIA (General Register of Identification of Pets), which is currently free of charge.
At the state level there is also no general registration rate for domestic animals, although some municipalities already charge: for example, in Daimus (Valencia) and Reus (Tarragona) they charge about 10 euros for registering a dog. In Gavà (Barcelona), the fee is almost 50 euros for dogs and 10 euros for adopted dogs, while cats and ferrets are exempt.
Rates in Europe
In 2023, it was reported on social media that the European Union would impose a mandatory tax on families with pets .
It was later refuted because there was no European regulation on it, but it is true that some European countries have been charging pet ownersfor years, including Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
The collection of these fees is intended for animal registration, street cleaning and maintenance of dog parks, and the amount is very variable (120 euros per year in Berlin and 1,056 euros in Nuremberg for being a dangerous dog).
