Dog Licenses
All dogs 6 months and older must have a license. If you become the owner of a dog 6 months or older, the dog must be licensed by January of each year.
In order to obtain a license for your dog, you need to obtain a Rabies Certificate from your veterinarian to prove your dog is current on its rabies shots. You must also show proof of spay/neutering, either a certificate with a certificate number or a letter from a vet stating that the animal was examined, and found to be altered.
The cost for a spayed/neutered dog is $6.00 per year, and $11.00 per year for a dog that is not spayed/neutered.
