Resolution No. 2026-009 – A Resolution Adjusting the Annual Pet Registration Fees and the Annual Dog Park Pass Fees for the City of Tiffin, Iowa — Resolution 2026-009

AGENDA ITEM # I-2 Annual Dog Park Pass Fees The current fees are a flat rate of $5.00 per pet annually for Tiffin residents and non-residents. Proposed fees: • Tiffin Residents: $10 per dog per year • Non-Residents: $25 per dog per year This change adjusts fees to be comparable with surrounding communities and reflects the value of maintaining a clean, safe, and functional dog park. It also ensures non-resident users contribute fairly to facility upkeep. The updated fee structure is expected to modestly increase revenue for animal control, dog park maintenance, and administrative needs. Improve compliance by encouraging spay/neuter, reducing long-term animal control costs (lost pets, overpopulation, etc.). Better reflect the true cost of maintaining pet-related services within the City. Recommendation Staff recommend that the City Council approve the proposed changes to the annual pet registration and dog park pass fee structure, effective for the upcoming licensing year.
