EXHIBIT A
COLLIER COUNTY DOMESTIC ANIMAL SERVICES
FEE POLICY
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish user fees which will partially offset the cost of
providing domestic animal services to the taxpayers of Collier County.
II. LIMITATIONS
A. Waiving of Fees. The Board of County Commissioner shall set all fees and charges.
Fees may be waived in accordance with policies articulated herein, such as under certain conditions
upon reclaim, when fees are for animals in safekeeping. Fees for field surrenders and board for
quarantine may be waived at the discretion of the Director when to do so will prevent the suffering of an
animal or ensure public safety and no reasonable alternative to waiving the fee exists. Such waivers
shall be brought before the Board in quarterly reports for after-the-fact ratification.
B. Non-Fee-Related Policies. The Director of Animal Services, or designee, may waive
enforcement or application of any department policies or restrictions provided such waiver does not
conflict with applicable local, state, or federal laws and does not interfere with public safety.
C. Promotional Sales and Advertisements. Fees may be reduced for special promotional
sales and advertisements if approved by the Director of Animal Services and such a reduction is applied
in a consistent and time-limited manner.
D. Sponsored Fees. The department may accept cash donations to sponsor fees for
customers in need. Fee sponsorship donations will be accounted for as the sale of gift certificates to be
redeemed at the time of the fee-incurring transaction. Redemption of sponsored fee gift certificates will
be at the director's discretion in accordance with the following general guidelines: A customer cannot
benefit from sponsored fees more than once in a twelve-month period.
E. Reclaim Fees. Fees may be reduced or waived at the discretion of the Director of
Animal Services if such fees would facilitate a live release and allow for the animal to be returned to a
responsible home. Reducing and/or waiving of fees should only be utilized once all fee-sponsored
donations are exhausted. Collier County license and microchip are not subject to reduction or waiver of
fees.
F. Safekeeping. If an animal is impounded at the request of a first-responding agency due to
the death, medical emergency, or disaster-related circumstance of its owner or caretaker, and that animal
is claimed by the owner, next of kin, or otherwise authorized party at the first available opportunity,
impound, and board fees may be waived. This exception does not apply to animals of owners or
caretakers who have been arrested or incarcerated. Safekeeping animals are subject to all other
Page 2 of 7
C

requirements of impounded animals at Domestic Animal Services as per Collier County Animal Control
Ordinance.
G. Refunds. The following fees are nonrefundable: Impoundment Fees, Owner Surrender
Fees (except as provided herein), License Fees (except as provided for herein), and Permitting Fees
(except situations where the applicant is not approved for zoning as required by Collier County Animal
Control Ordinance). The following fees are refundable only if service is not rendered: Mandatory
Spay/Neuter Fees, Micro-chipping Fees, and Euthanasia and Cremation Service Fees may be refunded at
the discretion of the Director of Animal Services, or designee, upon written request received within 30
days of payment or receipt of service, whichever comes first.
Adoption fees are nonrefundable. Adopted animals may be returned before the 30th day of placement
without incurring an owner surrender fee. On the 31st day and all those thereafter, an owner surrender
fee will be incurred for adoption returns. Days are counted as calendar days, irrespective of Domestic
Animal Services open-to-the public hours. If an animal is returned within 30 days of placement, the
adopter may adopt a like type animal at no cost within 60 days of the original adoption. Adoption fees
may be refunded within ten (10) days from adoption if the adopter can demonstrate non-routine
veterinary medical expenses in excess of the amount of the adoption fee. Adoptions are considered "as
is," and no expenses beyond the adoption fee will be reimbursed. Adoption fees will not be reimbursed
if the adopter failed to sign up for free pet insurance offered by Domestic Animal Services.
