The invoices for the municipal taxes are sent out at the beginning of February. If the total amount of the tax bill is less than $300, it is payable in a single instalment. If the tax bill is for more than $300, it may be paid in three instalments or less.

    7. The neighbour’s dog barks all the time, who can I submit a complaint to?

The Bylaw concerning animals within the boundaries of the Municipality of La Pêche specifies the rules that apply.

    8. I want to get a dog. Do I need a licence? Where can I buy it?

    No one can keep a dog on the Municipality’s territory without first obtaining a dog licence. The licence, which is valid from January 1 to December 31, is issued by Anitek. The cost of a licence is $40 per dog. Licences can be obtained online at www.anitek.ca.

    9. I heard that the Municipality offers residents season passes for the Lac Philippe beach in Parc de la Gatineau. Where can I get a pass?

    Every year, the National Capital Commission (NCC) gives the Municipality a limited number of passes for its permanent residents. The passes are distributed at the end of the spring or the beginning of the summer (watch for the May or June issue of the Municipal bulletin for information; the date will be announced there). Passes can be obtained at the Municipality’s offices, upon presentation of a valid driver’s license with an address in La Pêche (N.B.: one single pass per residence).

    Don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions concerning the municipality.
