Requirements
State law requires that all dogs three months or older must be licensed in the county where they are maintained. New tags should be displayed beginning January 1, 2012. Dogs without licenses could subject their owners to penalties. A license serves a very important purpose in helping to return a dog to its owner if it should happen to stray or become lost.
