Licenses/ Permits
Dog owners have the responsibility to purchase a dog license for all their dogs, to secure the license tags to the dog collar and to keep the dog on their property. A non-licensed, untagged dog running at large will be picked up by the board. Contact the Town Treasurer to obtain your dog licenses.
A dog license is required for all dogs over the age of 5 months. All dogs must have a rabies vaccination and proof of such vaccination must be shown to purchase a license for your dog. Please pay with a separate check when paying your first 1/2 taxes. Dog license fees are $3 for spayed or neutered dogs and $8 for non-spayed or non-neutered dogs.
