Required Paperwork

  1. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required to license your dog for the first time or if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. An invoice or statement of services is not sufficient as proof of rabies vaccination. Please check your certificate for correct address and dog 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 such as a driver’s license or other government issued photo identification with a date of birth is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 60 and over.

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