Required Paperwork

1. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required for pets over 6 months of age 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. A Spay/Neuter Statement is also accepted as proof of spay or neuter provided that the statement is signed by the owner and the date of surgery and clinic which performed the surgery is included.
3. Proof of age is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 65 and over.
4. A signed affidavit is required for the free service dog license.

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