LICENSES—THREE-YEAR OPTION GOOD NEWS!
Dog licenses will now expire on the same date as the rabies
expiration date. You now have the
option to purchase a one-year license or a three-year license that will
expire in the MONTH of the current rabies expiration date.
However, the rabies vaccination must be valid for the entire three
year period in order to purchase the three-year license.
Please note that your 2010 dog license will extend to the MONTH of
your current rabies expiration date of 2011.
Rabies vaccines can be renewed any time in the MONTH in which it
expires. You are then eligible
to purchase a dog license before the end of the MONTH. If
you do NOT purchase a dog license by the end of that MONTH, a late fee of
$15 will be added to the price of the license. 2011
