Town Clerk’s Office
Dog licensing season begins on June 1st. The law requires that every dog must be licensed once it becomes six months old and then annually every June. Any resident who gets a new dog at any point during the year, must obtain a license for it within thirty (30) days of acquiring the new dog. License applications for new dogs are available here. For dogs currently licensed, renewals will be mailed out prior to June 1st.
We're excited to offer an online option this year for dog licenses. If you wish to pay with a credit card, you will may use our online service (processing fees do apply). You can access the system through the circular Permits & Licenses button (second in from the left) on the HOME page of the Town Website.
