Wow, alot of you guys pay alot less than we do.
Keep in mind, we're quoting US $ prices, you are quoting Canadian. 
I live outside of city limits, so we don't have a county license. OTOH, we also don't have a county leash law.
I would GLADLY pay for licenses every year if it meant our county AC could enforce a leash law!
I think the city here charges somthing like $10 for unaltered, and $5 for altered, per year. Or maybe it's $15 and $7.50 now. Whatever it is, it is very much worth it, IMO, to pay licensing fees if it helps enforce responsible pet ownership and gives Animal Control more funds to use.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
