Dog Licensing Laws

All dogs in New York State, at least four months of age, must be licensed. Since Sullivan County has been declared a “rabies-county,” a dog license cannot be issued without proof the dog has an up-to-date rabies vaccination. Tags are not acceptable; you must have the paper certificate.  The fee is $20.00 for dogs not spayed/neutered, and $10.00 for dogs that are. Proof of spaying/neutering must be submitted to the Town Clerk's office before the discount can be given. Licenses can be purchased for one, two or three years and must coincide with the rabies expiration date.

For Dog Licensing information, please contact the Town Clerk's Office at (845) 252-7146 Ext. 1001.
