Pet Licenses
Dogs and cats require pet licenses within the city limits. Licenses are due January 1st. every year. To obtain a license, proof of current rabies vaccination must be presented at the City Office located at 220 E. Park Street.

Pet licenses are required for two reasons. First, help return lost pets to their homes as quickly as possible. Second, to ensure that all pets are properly vaccinated against rabies.

Cost of Licenses 

• Please see City Fee Schedule for cost.
