Processing Dog Licenses Online
For the convenience of our dog owners, dog licensing and payments may be done online.
In order to take advantage of the online licensing & payment option, a current rabies certificate must be on file at the Town Clerk’s Office. If the rabies certificate is not on file or expired and you would like to utilize the online processing feature, you may fax a copy of your rabies certificate to 508-285-0297 or e-mail a copy. Please allow at least one week for us to process the certificate and update the database before going back online to process.
Please note that you can license your dog as long as the rabies certificate is current at the time of licensing, you do not need to wait to have a new rabies certificate that covers the rest of the licensing year, although it is expected that you will update the dogs rabies at time of vaccination expiration and that you will provide the town clerks office with a copy.
Online payment options are ACH from checking account, MasterCard and Discover. The bank charges a convenience fee for utilizing a credit card and beginning January 1, 2013 a $.025 fee for paying using a check online. For each license issued, you will be charged $0.50 postage fee and your tag and license will be mailed directly to you. For licenses processed during December, January and February, please allows several weeks for receipt of license and tags.
Tips for Online Search Look Up Feature
The Search look up feature online requires input fields to match exactly as they appear in our data base. You can choose to search utilizing your last name, street name and dog name or simply by the animal key. The animal key is a unique # given to your dog. If you are having difficulty finding your information and you are certain that a current rabies certificate is on file at the Town Clerks Office you could use your last years license to verify the look up information that is on file or call the Town Clerks Office for the Animal Key. The animal key on your license is only the # listed after Species Dog ID# (not the tag #).
STREET NAME IS ASKING FOR ONLY THE STREET NAME, NOT THE STREET # OR THE STREET DIRECTORY TYPE (West, North, etc), OR THE STREET TYPE (St., Dr., etc) .
Example: I live at 70 West Main Street. Input street name as MAIN.
