Dog Licenses

June is Dog License Month!
 
    The month of June is when all dogs in Connecticut are to be licensed.  We process approximately 550 dog licenses per year.  Reminders are mailed out at the end of May as a reminder to those who have previously licensed their pet that it is time to do it again.
 
   When a dog is acquired, the new owner has thirty days in which to license it.  All dogs of the age of 6 months must be licensed.
 
    In order to license a dog, a current certificate of rabies vaccination, with expiration date, MUST BE presented.  This certificate is provided by the Veterinarian.  Also if the dog is neutered or spayed, that certificate should be presented to us.  A rabies tag is not acceptable.
 
    Fees for registering your dog are $8.00 for a neutered or spayed dog and $19.00 for an unaltered dog.  If a dog is not registered in a timely fashion, a $1.00 per month fee is assessed.  This is a statutory fee and must be collected by us.
 
    If a dog’s tag is lost, a replacement may be purchased for $.50.  Also, if a dog was licensed for the current year in another Connecticut Town, a license for the same year will be issued for $1.00.  The paper license must be presented as proof of registration.
