We know this is a busy month for us all, but don't forget about your four-legged companions! Dog licenses expire December 31st, and there are a few weeks left to register your dog before the new year.
In order to obtain a license for your dog, you must present a current Rabies Certificate obtained from a veterinarian, even if you have previously brought it with you - a new State program requires this each year. Also, bring with you written proof that the dog(s) has been spayed or neutered, if applicable. If you have already shown proof to the Town Clerk's Office, then additional proof is not necessary.
- The fee for an intact male or female dog is $11.
- The fee for a neutered or spayed dog is $6.
A $25.00 late fine starts February 1st, in addition to the licensing fee.
