Dog Licenses  

REMINDER

We will remind you that if your Dog’s rabies vaccination expires before November 1, 2026, you must have him/her revaccinated in order to get a 2026 license, or provide us with a written letter signed and dated from your Veterinarian stating that they will not revaccinate at this time. The letter must be on the Veterinarian’s letterhead.

Dogs seven months or older require a license.

The resident must bring the rabies certificate, which must be valid through October 31 of the licensing year.

If the dog has been spayed or neutered, the owner must show proof of same.
