DOG LICENSES
A
2008 Dog License Renewal Notice will be mailed 45 days prior to
the expiration date of the previous dog license. The 2008
Dog License will become delinquent if not purchased by the last
day of that month. The expiration date of the license corresponds
to the month in which the rabies vaccination occurred.
Please note:
the renewal notice is sent as a courtesy by our office. Failure
to receive the notice does not relieve a dog owner of their responsibility
to purchase a dog license prior to the expiration date stated on
the previous dog license.
All
dogs 4 months and older are required by Michigan State Law to be
licensed and vaccinated for rabies. The vaccine must be licensed
by the United States department of agriculture and signed
by an accredited veterinarian. Dog licenses may only
be purchased in the Clinton County Treasurer's Office.
Please provide proof of a valid rabies vaccination and neuter certificate,
if applicable.
