The fee schedule PDF's main table is a 12-row monthly pro-rata schedule for dogs FIRST registered partway through the year (e.g. a dog registered in August pays $81.60/$40.30, declining monthly to $7.40/$3.70 in June) -- only the full-year July figures are recorded above as the base fee categories; the pro-rata mechanism itself is described here rather than listed as 12 separate fee entries, since it's a formula applied to the base fee, not distinct categories. Seizure Fee, 1st/2nd/3rd Impounding Fee and Sustenance Fee (daily) all excluded as pound/impounding, out of scope per sweep rule.
