Dog Licenses Renewal Fees and Requirements Changed

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.

Residents may now renew their dog’s registration at the Town Clerk’s office from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Renewals will also be accepted through the mail by sending a check payable to the Town of Andover and required documentation to the Town Clerk’s Office, 36 Bartlet Street, Andover, MA 01810.
Renewals received after Feb. 27 will be assessed a cumulative administrative fee of $5 per month.

Residents may call the Town Clerk’s office at (978) 623-8255 or e-mail townclerk@andoverma.gov with questions.
