Town Of Tolland: June Is Dog Licensing Month

Press release from the Town of Tolland:

April 27, 2023

Note: If you plan on kenneling, grooming or training your dog between now and May 31st, and you do not have a current valid license, you must obtain a license before May 9th from the Town Clerk's Office.

CT law requires that all dogs six months of age or older be licensed during the month of June. The cost is $8.00 for altered dogs and $19.00 for unaltered dogs. A one dollar late fee per dog will be charged each month for those who are late.

All dogs must have proof of a current rabies vaccination on file. Postcard reminders will be mailed the last week of May. Please check the rabies expiration date printed on the postcard. Any dog whose expiration date is 6/30/2023 or before will have to provide a new rabies certificate in order to license in June. When licensing by mail, make checks payable to “Town of Tolland” and include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your tags and paperwork. Mail it to: Kathleen Pagan, Town Clerk, 21 Tolland Green, Tolland, CT 06084.

You can also renew your current dog license(s) online using your credit/debit card by clicking HERE. There is a $1.75 convenience fee added to allow for this online service. A valid rabies certificate must already be on file. You will need to enter your dog’s current tag number, which is printed on your reminder postcard. Your dog’s new tags will be mailed to you.

If you no longer own your licensed dog, please notify us at 860-871-3630 or email us at kpagan@tollandct.gov so that we can remove the record.

Remember: Per CT State Statute, the fine for having an unlicensed dog is $75.00.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are asking all residents to continue to license their dogs by mail, by utilizing the drop box located in parking lot A on Old Post Road, or by renewing your eligible licenses online.
