License Online

Payment for your license is due within 30 days of the expiration of your current license. If you are licensing for the first time, you must purchase a license when the pet reaches 4 months of age.

Any required documents, such as your pet's current rabies certificate, may be scanned and uploaded or submitted later by fax, mail or email.

Please consider making a voluntary donation to benefit the animals in the care of the Hernando County Animal Services. Thank you.

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 and starvation.
