License in Person

Licensing Ordinance

All dogs and cats 6 months of age and older must be vaccinated against rabies and registered with Fayette County within 7 days of acquiring the pet.

Licensing Locations

You may register your pet at a participating veterinary clinic. View a current listing of participating clinics.

Required Paperwork

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.
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 registration period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered registration fee.

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

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