TAX & LICENSE / PET LICENSING

Licensing your dog or cat identifies and protects your pet in case it should become lost and contributes to public health through regular rabies vaccinations. Specific requirements vary within the county and/or municipality. For example, most areas in King County require pet licenses for all dogs and cats 8 weeks of age or older. Fees tend to be lower for spayed or neutered animals. For complete information, contact the following your municipal Animal Control office or the following county offices:
