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 February 1st, an $8 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.

About the Town Clerk's Office
The office of the Town Clerk has been serving the residents of Portland since 1841. While the clerk’s duties have varied over the years, municipal record keeping has remained the foundation of the office.
Today the Town Clerk's Office serves as the hub for hunting/fishing licenses, notarizing, trade name certificates, dog licenses, the issuing of absentee ballots, and also serves as the registrar of vital statistics.

Our office is continually striving to provide the most efficient services to our residents and taxpayers while maintaining the high level of customer service that has always distinguished this office. Our land records are now accessible online from 1850 through the present. Please visit us on our web site or in person – we look forward to assisting you!
