Dog Licenses are now available for 3 years.
Dog tags are issued on an annual basis and expire December 31st. New
tags for the following year go on sale October 1st. Dogs four (4) months
old and older must have a valid County dog tag. 2010 tags are valid beginning October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. 2012 Tags are valid beginning October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2012.
A tag may be purchased for a single year, or for three years if the rabies
inoculation expires far enough in the future*.
For each tag to be purchased, a rabies certificate is required showing
date of rabies inoculation expiration. The tag cannot be issued for a
year beyond the year of rabies expiration*. For example:
