All licenses expire December 31. Rabies vaccinations must be valid through October 1st for a license to be issued.

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 1 of each year. If you are licensing for the first time, you must purchase a license within 60 days of obtaining a pet over the age of 4 months or within 60 days of moving into the City of Prescott.

A late fee of $8 is added to the license fee if your license is not purchased by March 31.

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

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 Prescott City Hall and at participating veterinarians. Please bring a copy of your pet's rabies vaccination certificate and spay/neuter certificate (if applicable) with you.

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. Rabies vaccinations must be valid through October 1 in order for a license to be issued.
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. If requesting the discounted fee for a puppy that is 12 months of age or less, please include the pet's date of birth or age.

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