Don't Drag Your Tail, Dogs Required to be Licensed

Over 1,700 dogs in Andover have been licensed for 2015, however, there are many dogs that have not yet been licensed.

Dogs are required to be licensed by January 1 of each year.

If your dog has not been licensed please come into the Town Clerk’s office from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Monday through Friday. You may also register through the mail by sending a check payable to the Town of Andover, a current certificate of rabies vaccination, and proof of spay or neuter to the Town Clerk’s Office, 36 Bartlet Street, Andover, MA 01810.

Dog license renewals received on or after March 1 will be charged a cumulative monthly administrative fee of $5 per month. The underlying renewal fee is $14 for intact dogs and $13 for spayed or neutered dogs with proof from a veterinarian. Do not assume that the Town has your dog’s spay or neuter information on file as this information is now required under a recent change in state law.

If you have any questions, please call the Andover Town Clerk’s office at (978) 623-8255.
