• Dog Licenses
  By NYS law, all dogs within the State , four months of age or older, unless otherwise exempted must be licensed.  The licensing process is very simple and inexpensive.  All that is needed is proof that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies.  Also, if the dog has been spayed or neutered, please bring proof of that.  A spayed/neutered dog license is $10.00, all others are 20.00.  Once the dog is licensed, an annual renewal will be mailed to you.  Any dog license renewal that is submitted more than 30 days after expiration of the prior license for that dog will result in a late fee of $10.00, and an additional $10.00 late fee will be added for each additional month that renewal of the dog license is delayed.
