Dog Licensing - 2022
Welcome June…flowers, cookouts, and Dog Licenses!
Each June every dog aged six months and older should be licensed in the owner’s Town of residence. Dogs can only be licensed when current on rabies vaccinations and a certificate with expiration date must be presented each time your dog has received a booster vaccination.
To obtain the first license after a dog has been spayed/neutered, the owner must present a certificate stating the procedure was done. This information is often included on the veterinarian’s rabies certificate.
Current Fees for Licenses: Spayed/Neutered Dogs----------------------- $8.00
Intact Dogs ------------------------------------ $19.00
An additional $1.00 penalty is charged for each month after June when an owner fails to license a dog as required.
Our modified procedure is still available:
Beginning on June 1, all dogs aged 6 months and older must be licensed in the town in which the dog resides. The process to license your dog in Hartland is outlined below. Remember, licensing your dog is the law. (State Statute 22-338).
- Please forward your dog’s information to the Town Clerk’s office. You may download a Dog License Application from this website to provide the necessary resident and dog information.
- Please include a copy of your dog’s current Rabies Certificate if the vaccine has been updated since the last issued license. If your dog’s rabies vaccine has lapsed, we are unable to issue a license. After your dog gets a booster vaccination, please forward the updated rabies certificate with fee and return envelope.
- If your dog hasn’t been licensed in Hartland before or if your dog has been neutered or spayed since the last license, please include the certificate of neuter or spay to ensure your dog license isn’t issued at the amount for an intact dog. The Rabies Certificate may indicate the dog’s spayed/neutered status where dog’s sex is noted.
- We will accept payment by cash or check written to: Town of Hartland. We do not accept credit card or debit card payments. The cost is $8.00 for a neutered/spayed dog and $19.00 for an intact dog.
- Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of the tag.
- Mail this information to:
