All cats and dogs must be licensed by the City. A pet license (PDF) will only be issued with a copy of a valid rabies vaccination certificate. A standard one-year license (from March 1 to the last day in February) is $8 for a neutered or spayed dog or cat, and $11 for a non-neutered or non-spayed dog or cat. After June 1, there is a late fee of $11 added to the price.
