When do I need to get a dog license?

Except as provided in s. 174.054, the owner of a dog more than 5 months of age on January 1 of any year, or 5 months of age within the license year, shall annually, or on or before the date the dog becomes 5 months of age, pay the dog license tax and obtain a license by March 31.

You will need to provide a copy of the rabies certificate (not the receipt showing you paid for the vaccination) along with payment.

For dogs that have been spayed or neutered the cost is $3.00; dogs that have not been spayed or neutered $8.00. If paid after March 31, there is an additional $5.00 late fee added.
