License Fee Questions and Answers

Why do I have to license my dog?

State law requires all dogs over the age of three (3) months to be vaccinated against rabies. The license requirement is to allow city or county agencies to ensure that the dog has a current rabies vaccination. It also gives animal control agencies a way to identify the owner of an impounded animal so they can get the animal back home.

My dog always stays in my house, does it have to be licensed?

Yes. All dogs over the age of three months, regardless if they never leave the yard. You would be surprised how many animals are impounded every month and the owner says, "But it has never been out before!"
