The cost for licensing unaltered or fertile pets is higher than for licensing spayed or neutered pets in order to promote sterilization and to reduce pet overpopulation.

Payment for your license is due by January 1st. If you are licensing for the first time, you must purchase a license within 30 days of acquiring your pet. A late fee is added to the license fee if your license is not purchased by the due date. The late fee is $18.00 for an unaltered pet and $10.00 for a spayed or neutered pet.

You may license by mail and pay for your license with a check or money order made payable to "City of Edmonds."

You may license online and pay for your license with a major credit card. A convenience fee will apply per transaction. Multiple pets can be licensed in one transaction.

You may license in person at Edmonds Police Department. Please bring a copy of your pet's proof of spay/neuter if not already on file.

1. Due to the current Washington State Covid-19 restrictions, proof of spay/neuter documentation is waived until further notice.
2. Proof of age or owner's date of birth is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 65 and over.

Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so retain a copy of your documents for your records.
