Commonly Asked Questions

Why am I getting a late fee?

Pet registrations should be purchased within 60 days of the rabies vaccine being administered or within 60 days of the previous registration expiring. Failure to do so will result in a $10 late fee being assessed.

How long is my pet registration good for?

Since this is an annual pet registration, it will expire on the anniversary date of the rabies vaccine provided. Registrations purchased mid-vaccination cycle, will expire based on the vaccine anniversary date and may require renewal again, in less than one year. Pet owners are encouraged to register their pet immediately after the rabies vaccine is administered. Three-year rabies vaccines are accepted; however the annual renewal will be based on the anniversary date of the current vaccine.
