Required Paperwork

1. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. Please check your certificate for correct address and pet information.
2. Proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services is required if the pet has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
3. Include the owner's date of birth (age 70 years or older) if requesting the senior citizen discount for the first time.

Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please only send copies and retain the originals for your records.
