Seniors age 65 and over may license one spayed or neutered pet free of charge. Additional pets and unaltered pets must be licensed at full rate.

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