For guard dogs and dogs needed for a profession or business, it is at most € 30 (§ 16 Abs. 2). Exempt are, among others, trained assistance dogs and dogs in approved animal shelters (§ 15 Abs. 2). It is payable for the first time within two weeks of the report, then annually by 31 March (§ 17 Abs. 2). Amount per municipality, see the city page.
