According to State Law (20 VSA Chapter 193 Domestic Pet or Wolf Hybrid Control)

"All dogs are required to be registered in the town in which they reside by no later than April 1st of each year." After April 1st a $ 4.00 late fee will be added.


Here are some facts:

As of June 26, 2020 there are 85 dogs left to renew for 2020 and 40 that were not licensed at close of 2019 or never licensed.

As of April 1, there were 240 dogs left to register. We have called all dog owners with current rabies that still needed to register. For dogs that are waiting for their new vaccine, the licensing fee is $13 for neutered/spayed (or $17 if intact). If you have a new puppy, we can't register it until after it receives it rabies vaccine. Technically dogs do not need to be registered until they are 6 months of age.
