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 within 30 days of obtaining a dog over the age of 4 months or within 30 days of establishing residence in the City of Newport Beach.

A late fee of $5.00 is added if your license has not been renewed within 30 days of the expiration of your license, or if your pet is over 4 months old and you have been in the city more than 30 days.
