Pet License Required

If you have a pet, please keep them on a leash and get them licensed! The cost of a license is $3 per year per pet. Licenses can be purchased at City Hall. Please bring a copy of the pet's rabies certificate with you when you come to City Hall to register and license your pet. 
Having a license is a benefit to everyone, including you! If your pet is lost, the tag you receive and place on your pet's collar will help identify who they belong to. The tag also proves that your pet has been vaccinated.
Stop down to City Hall today to get your pet licensed.
