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 16012 2 requirements of impounded animals at Domestic Animal Services as per Collier County Animal Control Ordinance. G. Refunds.

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.
