2026 dog licenses are available. Licenses run a calendar year and dogs need to be re-licensed by January 31 each year. You may renew your dog license any time between October 15 and January 31. After January 31 a $25 late fee per dog will be in effect. This is mandated by State Law. If you are licensing your dog for the first time and it is after February 1, there is no late fee, only the license fee.
