Time to license your dog for ’13

Friday, February 8, 2013

Dog Licenses for 2013 are available at the Town Clerk’s office.

Per New Hampshire law, all owners of dogs 4 months and older are required to license their dog by May 1.

Owners must present a valid rabies certificate and a neutering or spaying certificate, if applicable.

Fees for licenses are $10 for a non-neutered/spayed dog, and $7.50 for a neutered/spayed dog. Seniors 65 and older are eligible to register one dog at a reduced rate of $3, upon presenting proof of age.

Dog owners who fail to register their dog by May 1 will be subject to late charges, a $30 civil forfeiture fine and a court summons for each unregistered dog.

Licenses are available at the Town Clerk’s office during normal business hours of 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

If you no longer have your dog, contact the Town Clerk’s office at 424-3651 so they can update the records.

Records that are not updated result in the office having to follow up on the unlicensed dog, wasting time and tax dollars.

For more information, call 424-3651.
