Dogs Dog tags
Dog tags are available for sale at City Hall. The tags cost $15, and are valid from July 1st to June 30th of the following year (one year only). It is mandatory by law to get a tag for your dog. A stray dog that is not wearing a tag, unless you claim it, will be sent to the SPCA, corner Decarie and Jean-Talon (in Montreal). It is then your responsibility to pick it up from there. The purchase of an identification tag is therefore well worth your peace of mind. Fine for vagrancy: $50 + $25 = $75 Fine for violation of City by-law: $50 + $25 = $75 Canine Pollution
The reduction of canine pollution represents an eloquent example of civic gesture in terms of cleanliness. Those who claim not to like dogs are more often people who do not appreciate the illicit droppings left on their private property, sidewalks, roads, in parks, etc ... by dog owners who are not very civic-minded. So if you love dogs, help make others appreciate them as well. Fine for violation of by-law: $50 + $25 = $75 When you walk your dog, ensure at all times to have the necessary items to pick up its droppings and dispose of them in a proper manner.

NEW PARKING REGULATIONS
More practical, easier and…it’s free! Since May 1st, new parking regulations concerning streets and parking lots in Sainte-Anne-de Bellevue have been put into place. Among the major changes relative to regulation 510, regarding traffic and public security, are the definitive removal of the parking meters introduced on rue Sainte-Anne in February 2007, the creation of blocks on the main street (business district), the creation of vignettes for John Abbott College students and staff, as well as several modifications to the various parking schedules for the side streets.
Rue Sainte-Anne
The introduction of the notion of blocks in the business district is meant to increase the general turnover of motorists on rue Sainte-Anne as well as to better control periods of use. The maximum period of use of a parking space per block is limited to 2 hours per day between 9 am and 9 pm, 7 days per week, on the portion of rue Sainte-Anne between rue Maple and rue de l’Église.
The blocks are defined as follows: - Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Maple to rue Perrault
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Perrault to rue Kent
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Kent to montée Sainte-Marie
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from montée Sainte-Marie to rue Lamarche
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Lamarche to rue Saint-Pierre
(including the Place du quai parking lot)
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Saint-Pierre to rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste to rue Christie
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue Christie to rue du Collège
(including the City Hall parking lot)
- Rue Sainte-Anne, from rue du Collège to rue de l’Église Side streets
In general, the time limit for parking is 2 hours, from Monday to Friday between 7 am and 11 pm. However, vehicles equipped with a vignette are authorised to park in these spaces with no time limit. On Saturdays and Sundays, there are no parking limits on these streets between 7 am and 11 pm. These regulations only apply to the streets located south of A40. Motorists must refer to specific parking signs at all times if necessary. Parking lots
In general, except for the Place du quai and City Hall parking lots, all the parking lots included in the block notion offer medium duration or long duration parking. The parking lots located next to the train station offer parking for a period of up to 24 hours.
