Required Paperwork

1. A current rabies vaccination certificate signed by a veterinarian 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 pet has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.

License Fees

Standard License Fees
Unaltered Pet	$25.00
Spayed/Neutered Pet	$15.00
Other Fees
Replacement Tag	$5.00

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