How can I obtain an application to license my dog or cat?
Dog and cat licenses are renewable annually and are due in January. New pets six months of age or older must be licensed at this time or when this age is reached during the year. On March 1st a $10.00 late fee will be charged for dog licenses and a $5.00 late feel will be charged for cat licenses. Application instructions are on the reverse side of the renewal form. If rabies vaccination information or spay/neutering status has changed during the year, please include the veterinarian certification so that pet records may be updated. All required documentation and the appropriate fee must be submitted with the renewal form or everything will be returned to you. A rabies vaccination must have an expiration date valid through November 1 of the year in order to purchase an animal license.

$12.00 spayed/neutered

$15.00 not spayed/neutered
