Dog Licenses

Dog licenses are processed at the Town Clerk’s office. They expire every year on April 30th. A new dog license requires a rabies certificate and a neutering/spaying certificate, if applicable. The fees are:

Male/female | $10.00
Neutered/Spayed | $7.50
1st dog licensed to owner over 65 | $2.00

Renewals also require an updated rabies certificate and or neutering/spaying certificate, if applicable. New licenses are available after January 2nd . If you do not license your dog by April 30th you will be assessed a late fee of $1.00 per month after June 1st. Also, a civil forfeiture notice will be delivered to your residence by a police officer, which carries a $25.00 fine. Please notify us at 875-2101 if you no longer own your dog.

License renewals may be done by mail or on line by clicking on the purple dog at the top of the page. A self-addressed, stamped envelope is required if completed by mail. Send a check made payable to the “Town of Alton” in the correct amount with any updated certificates, which will be returned to you. If you have any questions, please call 875-2101.
