Do I need to License my dog?
Yes. All dogs six months old or older must have a current rabies certificate and be registered with the Town Clerk’s office by April 1 each year. If your dog has been licensed in another Vermont town we will honor that year’s license and issue you a new one at no charge. If you are a new resident you must register your dogs within 30 days of moving to town. An up-to-date rabies vaccination certificate is needed. Dog licenses are due to be renewed annually by April1st. After this date, an additional late fee will be assessed.
