Dog Licenses Renewal/Registration Due

Updated: January 25, 2021

Last day to register for dog licenses without incurring a late fee, January 31, 2021.

Dog licenses for 2020 expired on December 31st. Maine law requires dogs 6 months of age to be licensed.

When registering your dog you must bring your dog's current rabies certificate and proof of spaying or neutering. Fees for registration are $11 male or female; $6 spayed or neutered; a dollar more for online registration.  A $25 late fee, per dog, will be assessed for renewals made after Jan. 31, 2021.  If you have any questions, please call the Tax Office at 207-799-0881.

Due to limited public access to town hall in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, dog owners are asked to register their dogs online at http://www.doglicensing.com/. Online registration is not available after January 31, 2021. For appointments to register, please call the Tax Office.

Up to 90 percent of registration fees go directly to the State of Maine Animal Welfare Program to support investigations of cruelty to animals. Required rabies certification also combats increasing instances of rabies in Maine, safeguarding public safety and health for everyone.
