By Village Clerk Robyn George
I am aware that many residents in our community have not registered their dogs. By law, all dogs within New York State, four months of age or older, must be licensed. The licensing process is simple and inexpensive ($5 or $15) and is considerably less than receiving a fine for noncompliance. All that is needed is proof that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies. Please bring proof if your dog has been spayed or neutered as the lower fee applies. After your dog is licensed, you will receive an annual renewal notice by mail.
Additionally, please be aware that the Town has a Local Law requiring the dog have adequate leash restrains. The Local Law is posted on the Town’s website – ellicottvil-legov.com.
