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 dog has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
3. Proof of age is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 70 and over.

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