TAX & LICENSE / PET LICENSES

The specific regulations on pet licensing are developed by each jurisdiction. In general, dog licenses are required on an annual basis. Licensing includes verification of a current rabies vaccination. Fees are usually lower for neutered or spayed animals. Pet licensing not only contributes to public health but benefits pet owners in locating lost animals. Contact your city or county animal control office for details on regulations, fees, leash laws, and related pet information:
