Dog License Renewal

 

All dog owners must obtain a license or renew their current licenses between June 1st and June 30th for the fiscal year beginning July 1.   A recent state law also requires an owner of a dog going to a kennel to be licensed.  The state-mandated registration fee is $8 for a spayed/ neutered dog, and $19 for a non-spayed/ non-neutered dog.  Certificate of spayed/ neutered must be provided for first time licenses to receive the $8 fee amount.  A rabies vaccination certificate must also be provided for first time licenses or if the previous vaccination has expired.  After December 1st, a $6 monthly penalty will apply.  This applies to any renewals, or dogs that have not been licensed previously but have been owned by a Portland resident for more than 30 days.
