Dog Tags

When? All dogs over 3 months of age must be licensed each year before the 31st of January.  When you obtain an older dog you have 30 days to purchase a tag without paying a penalty. However, a tag should be purchased immediately in order to avoid possible Municipal Court non-licensure fines. 

Cost? A dog license costs $20.00 and a kennel license costs $100.00 You must be engaged in the business of breeding dogs for hunting or for sale in order to qualify for a kennel license. 

Where? Monday through Friday at the County Auditor's Office in the Courthouse, or by mail using the dog application.
