Time to register your dog in April each year

To All Canine Owners

Please register your furry friends with the Town as per the law:
State of New Hampshire law requires that all owners of dogs four months and older shall annually be registered, numbered, described and licensed in the Town in which the dog is kept. Regardless of when the license is obtained, the license is valid from May 1 of each year to the following April 30. (RSA 466:1)
Veterinarians are required by law to inform the Clerks’ Office of all rabies shots given so we know there are a number of pets in town that are currently not licensed with us. If you no longer have your pet, for whatever reason, please let us now so we can adjust our records.

Annual fees are as follows:
Fees (Per RSA 466:4-6):
  • Dogs at least 4 months old but less than 7 months old - $6.50
  • Unaltered male or unspayed female 7 months or older - $9.00
  • Neutered male or spayed female - $6.50
  • First dog of an owner 65 yrs+ - $2.00 For additional dogs, above fees apply.
  • Group license (5 or more dogs) - $20.00
  • $1.00 per month late fees apply beginning June 1st

If you have owned your pet for awhile but have not had them licensed before, you may have accumulated late fees in addition to the above amounts. Call us if you are not sure.
