🧮 Dog tax calculator
What does the dog tax cost you per year? Choose your canton and the number of dogs. The amounts are guide values — the exact amount is set by your municipality.
ℹ️ Guide value for 2026. In Switzerland the dog tax is levied at municipal or cantonal level depending on the canton and varies by canton and municipality; additional fees are possible. For some cantons the value is a representative average. Data source: publicly available cantonal and municipal rates; where municipalities charge different amounts, we show a representative guide value or a typical range (not a municipality-exact calculation). Your municipality of residence is decisive. Not legal or tax advice.
🛡️ In many cantons dog liability insurance is mandatory. Consider health insurance for your dog too — vet costs of CHF 1,000–2,000 per year are not unusual.
