Dog Licenses Renewal Fees and Requirements Changed

Dog license renewals may be paid at the Town Clerk's office, or mailed to the clerk.

Have you renewed your dog’s license for the new year?

Dog license renewal notices were recently mailed to Andover residents. Please note that renewal fees and requirements have changed, according to town officials. The fee for spayed or neutered dogs is now $13 with proof from a veterinarian. Intact dogs are $14. All dogs must have proof of a current rabies vaccination.

The town’s renewal notice indicates the information on file regarding rabies vaccination expiration and gender. If the town’s information is not accurate, supplemental documentation from a veterinarian will be required. All supporting documents will be returned to the pet owner.
