*A license cannot be valid for a longer period than the current rabies vaccination.

A veterinarian certificate of counseling is required in order to license an unaltered pet.

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