Dog Licenses

Title 7 Section 3922 (1) under "Issuance of license", says all dogs 6 months or more need to be licensed on or before January 1st, and then under 3922(2) it says the owner or keeper, within 10 days, shall obtain a license if between January 1 and October 15th.

There are two (2) different late fees cited in the law as follows:

1. A $25 late fee is assessed if you have not registered your dog by the first Tuesday in February, at which time the Selectmen sign a municipal dog warrant demanding all unlicensed dogs be registered.
2. A $15 late fee is assessed under Title 7 Section 3923-A(4) which says dogs licensed after January 31st each year shall pay to the municipalclerk a late fee of $15, which applies until the dog warrant goes into effect.

You must also show proof of spay/neutering - either a certificate number or a letter from a vet stating that the animal was examined and found to be altered.
