HB 4094 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To eliminate the dog tax

HB 4094 would repeal three sections of West Virginia law (§19-20-1, §19-20-2, and §19-20-11) that imposed a tax on dogs. This bill directly affects dog owners in West Virginia who currently pay this tax under existing code. The key mechanism is the removal of the legal requirement for the dog tax by eliminating these specific code provisions. As a result, dog owners would no longer be subject to this tax obligation.
