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

Note: Overpayments of $3.00 or less will be applied as a donation to Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter (FOAS). If you would like to make a voluntary donation to FOAS, please note the amount of the donation on your paperwork and add it to your license fee.
