The 2009 - 2010 dog license tags are now available.
NH State Law requires that all dogs be registered for the 2009 - 2010 year by April 30, 2009.
Every owner or keeper of a dog which is 4 months old or over shall annually license the dog for one year in the Office of the Town Clerk. In addition, the dog must wear around its neck a collar to which a metal tag is attached with the following information: Name of the town, year of the issue of the license and its registered number. Regardless of when the license is obtained, it shall be effective from May 1 of each year to April 30 of the subsequent year.
Vaccination Required: Before a license is issued, the owner or keeper of the dog must furnish verification that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies. If a valid rabies certificate is on file with the Town Clerk, the owner shall not be required to produce such verification at the time of license. It is the responsibility of the owner to update proof of vaccination.
