Licences (Various)
Building Licences
A licence is needed for virtually all building work on the outside of your house, its perimeter walls and garden hard landscaping. The saying is that if you have to open a bag of cement then you need a licence. There will also be tax payable depending on the cost of the work. If you attend the Town Halls they will give you the forms and sometimes help you fill them in.
The Law and what it says..

Dog Licences
Normal pet dogs do not need a licence but they should be registered at the Town Hall and will need copies of relevant parts of the pet health book.
Dangerous dogs - Special licences are needed. Breeds classed here are Rotweilers, Pit Bull, US and UK Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Tosa Inu and Akita Inu dogs. Some cross breeds also are classed as dangerous. It is a complicated procedure to get a dangerous dog licence and you need to talk to your vet.
