OCEAN CITY — Proposed changes to the town’s dog-licensing policy and procedures were tabled this week after questions were raised if dog-licensing in the resort was even necessary.
The Mayor and Council had before them proposed changes to the town’s ordinances regarding dogs and licenses. The proposed amendments would eliminate some of the arcane language in the ordinance regarding certain fees, but most importantly, they would streamline the rather confusing process for obtaining a dog park permit and a dog license in Ocean City.
City Solicitor Heather Stansbury explained pet dogs that reside in Ocean City must have a permit to use the recently renovated dog park at 94th Street, but also a dog license issued by the city. The proposed amendment would streamline the permit and license process.
“This had its genesis when you were renovating the dog playground,” she said. “The major change is currently, you get the permit for the dog park from recreation and parks, but get the dog license from City Hall. This adds Northside Park as an alternative license point-of-sale location.”
“after questions were raised if dog-licensing in the resort was even necessary.”
