Town License?

My apartment complex is asking for tons of pet info, including a "Proof of Town License," a Rabies Certificate is listed as a separate thing so I know that's not what it is.. has anyone else heard of a town license for your dog?

Re: Town License?

  • Yes! We just got Arthur's over the summer! Go to the town's website and they should have info on it. It's usually just a quick form w/ info like type of dog, spayed/ neutered, up to date on shots. And you pay a small fee like $10 or something. You can probably either mail the info in or just drop it off at the town hall building. They'll give you another tag for the doggy with his license number. Good luck!
  • Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to register your pet at town hall.  They give you a tag for his collar. 
  • Great, thanks girls.. I may even already have the stupid thing at my apartment..but since we're still in our temp apartment, I can't check..
  • I was able to download the form & mail it in w/a proof of the rabies vaccine. Can you wait to register for 2010?
  • Yes, most cities/towns have it in MA. I'm actually kind of appalled Charleston did away with it.

    Depending on where you live, it could be anywhere from $6 to $20. It was $6 in Boston unless you had a pit bull, then it cost us $60/year to register her in Boston. Stupid. 

    My parents' town, it is $20 for their spayed female. 

  • Yea, I think every town has them. You can actually be fined for not having your dog licensed with the town once they are 6 months.

    That is true. Once, the ACO rounded up all the dogs playing at the park one day, lined us up on the street and inspected them all for tags. No tag = $50 fine.

    Wow, I didn't know they actually were doing that.... people suck...

    But yes, once we moved into our house, we made sure to get both dogs licensed with the town, just in case.  I think it was $10-20 each, plus their rabies cert which was returned to us.  Good for a year, but we have to do it every year too... suck.

  • Ooh, good thing I haven't found a dog park to take Brady to! All we had to have in Florida was their rabies tag..
