The deadline to register your dog or cat before late fees hit is April 1st.
Per state law - all dogs and cats 6 months or older are to be licensed every year. Please bring in your most recent rabies certificate - signed by the veterinarian, when you come in.
Registrations may be done by:
1) visiting the clerk's office Monday - Friday during the hours of 8:00 to 4:30
2) submit the payment through the mail or place in the night drop box at city hall. We will need the following documents - current rabies certificate (signed by the veterinarian) and the mail-in-form below. We will mail the tag to you once the registration is processed by our office.
3) by credit card or debit card by visiting www.xpress-pay.com. Please see instructions below and be aware that there is a processing charge of 2.8% plus a site fee visit so see the example below. We cannot accept electronic checks at this time for animal licenses. We will mail the tag to you once the registration is processed by our office.
