How do I license my dog?

All dogs 3 months of age or older must be licensed in New Hampshire. You will need to bring in proof of inoculation (rabies vaccination certificate) and proof of spaying or neutering if the dog is altered.

The cost to license a dog is:

  • $9.00 for intact dogs
  • $6.50 for spayed or neutered dogs
  • $4.50 for a dog 7 months or younger
  • $2.00 for the first dog belonging to a senior citizen over 65 years of age.

Dogs may be licensed by mail. Please notify the Town Clerk's office you no longer have your dog or have moved. 

All dog licenses expire on April 30th. You will need to renew your dogs license annually by this date or penalties and fines will be issued per State Law.

There is one month grace period before the penalty begins.

The penalty is $1.00 per month beginning June.

There may also be $25.00 civil forfeiture fine issued plus $5.00 service fee which will be due 15 days after receipt of the fine.
