- Notes
- Official Kiel pages and bylaw could not be read online; figures from secondary sources (hunde2.de, hundeinfoportal.de, hundezentrum-gibson.de, all stating €126/€177/€213; one says 'since 1 January 2025'). Rate for listed dogs (dangerous dogs): unclear, sources contradict each other (hundeinfoportal.de: €618, hunde2.de: no higher tax), therefore null. valid_from cannot be verified.
