All dogs and cats over the age of 5 months are required to be licensed by the Village. Licenses must be renewed each year. Proof of current rabies vaccinations with rabies certificate number and expiration date must be provided to issue the license. The deadline to apply without an additional fee is March 31.

- It lets law enforcement know your animal is up to date on rabies vaccines.
- Animal license fees fund animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect investigations.
