Required Paperwork

1. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. Please check your certificate for correct address and pet information.
2. Proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services is required if the pet has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
   
3. If this is a service animal, please include a completed service dog application.

Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of your documents for your records.

A license must be purchased for the time remaining on your pet's rabies vaccination, and licenses cannot be valid longer than the expiration of your pet's rabies vaccination.

• If there are 1-12 months before the rabies vaccination expires, purchase a 1-year license.
• If there are 13-24 months before the rabies vaccination expires, purchase a 2-year license.
• If there are 25-36 months before the rabies vaccination expires, purchase a 3-year license.

The cost for licensing unaltered or fertile pets is higher than for licensing spayed or neutered pets in order to promote sterilization and to reduce pet overpopulation.
