There may be several reasons why you received a bill when you have a current license. We're happy to help with your account information - please fill out this form to begin the process.

The first metal license tag you will receive from the Town of Marana will be permanently assigned to your dog, and in subsequent years, you will not receive a new tag during the renewal process unless requested. If you have lost your tag or it has become unreadable, please pay the replacement tag fee when you mail your renewal, and a new tag will be mailed with your license registration. Otherwise, a receipt only will be mailed.

We will mail your tag and license receipt within 10 business days from the day we receive your completed license application and payment. Please allow an additional 3-5 business days to receive your tag or receipt in the mail. If we have not received correct payment or proper documentation you will be notified via mail and the processing of your license will be delayed.

You may obtain a replacement tag by sending a check or money order payable to “Town of Marana" in the amount of $10.00 to the mailing address below. Please do not send cash. You may include either a copy of your prior license receipt or a note to designate the dog for which you are purchasing a replacement tag. If you need assistance, you may call customer service toll-free at 1-844-420-1544.

If you are renewing your dog’s license, please indicate that a replacement tag is needed on the renewal form and include the replacement tag fee.

The fees from licensing are used to care for animals and investigate complaints about stray animals, among other services. Other goals of animal licensing are to promote responsible pet ownership and to reduce the tragedies associated with lost pets and pet overpopulation.
