4 Dogs and a Hallelujah - City of Braunsbedra Loses Dog Tax Case


It took going to court again to reach a decision in favor of the citizens.



It took the city of Braunsbedra five years to realize that the defendant runs a dog breeding business and does not pay dog tax. According to regulations and state law, however, a dog tax is not required for an association. The dogs were purchased for the association, so no dog tax was due. In this regard, the city made no further progress.

As authorities often are – once they get involved, they want to push it through. The city looked for other ways to get something out of it and argued that the dogs should still have been registered. They imposed a fine of 3,500 euros retroactively for two years for four dogs.

The defendant categorically rejected this. The city showed some “mercy” and then demanded only 1,700 euros. But the defendant rejected this as well, stating that she had not consciously committed an offense for each dog separately. All four dogs were purchased on the same day.

The defendant had shown some understanding and stated that she would be willing to pay a fine if the failure to register the dogs was indeed an administrative offense. Her offer to the city of Braunsbedra was 350 euros. However, the city rejected this offer, forwarded the case to the public prosecutor, and it was taken to court.

The court has now ruled that the defendant only has to pay 50 euros per dog for the missed registration. The defendant sees this as a success since it is 200 euros less than her own offer to the city and far below the original demand from the city.

Once again, it shows that some fines set by authorities are quite excessive, and one should not be afraid to have matters clarified in court.

These 50 euros per dog for a missed registration could now well serve as a standard fine for this type of administrative offense.

Dog Tax Doesn’t Have to Be

This is why the first municipality is abolishing the dog tax now.
