More Questions

How long is the animal license valid?
Typically, a dog license is valid until the expiration date of the rabies/exempting certificate.

How much does an animal license cost?
A one-year license is $43.00. If your dog is spayed/neutered, you will get a 50% discount off the license fee ($21.50/year).

The license fee is prorated to coincide with the expiration of the rabies certificate or exemption certificate. So, if the rabies certificate expires in two months, you only pay for two months.

No fees are charged for seeing eye dogs owned by a blind or partially blind person.

Should I license other animals besides dogs?
Yes, you can get a license for domestic swine as well. Currently there are no license requirements for cats or other household pets.
