Dog Control

Golden RetrieverNew York State Law requires that all dogs must be licensed in the Town, City or Village where the dog is harbored at the age of 4 months.

For new dog licenses, a current rabies certificate and a spay/neuter certificate, if applicable, is required. For a renewal, a rabies certificate, if required, must be presented. (The rabies vaccination must be in effect for at least one full month after the issued date of the license.)

Fees for un-neutered or un-spayed dogs are $15.00; for neutered and spayed dogs, $8.00.

To renew dog licenses by mail, please enclose both parts of the renewal form sent to you, along with all necessary paperwork to the Town Clerk's Office.

Nuisance Wildlife Complaints
The Dog Control Officer does not handle nuisance wildlife complaints. These inquiries should be directed to a pest control service specializing in nuisance wildlife removal or the NYS DEC.
