GENEVA – It soon will cost more in Kane County to own a dog or cat that is not spayed or neutered.

Tuesday, the Kane County Board approved a measure requested by the Kane County Health Department to increase the county fees charged to pet owners for the tags they receive to prove their animal has received the legally required rabies vaccination.

Currently, Kane County charges $10 for the tags for an annual rabies vaccination, and $25 for the tags for a three-year rabies vaccination. Under the newly approved measure, the county will continue to charge $10 and $25 for rabies vaccination tags to owners whose pets have been spayed or neutered.
