Dog and Cat Licenses - Regulations

The purpose of this regulation is to set dog-and-cat license fees. The license fee is authorized under section 5-401(b) of the County Code as amended.

The following fees apply:

1. Temporary Juvenile Pet License No Charge

2. ALTERED

A. Altered Animals - Annual Fee $12.00

B. Altered Animals - Three Years $32.00

A license term may not exceed the duration of the animal’s rabies vaccination/booster. The license fee will be pro-rated to coincide with the time remaining until the pet requires a rabies vaccination/booster.

In the future, fee amounts may be changed by Executive Regulation under Method 3.

If a court holds that part of this regulation is invalid, the invalidity does not affect other parts.
