Dog Licenses Available at Merrimack Town Clerk's Office

Per NH State law, according to Town Clerk Diane Trippett, all owners of dogs four months and older are required to license their dog by May 1, 2016. Owners must present a valid rabies certificate and a neutering or spaying certificate, if applicable.

Fees for licenses are $10 for a non-neutered/spayed dog, and $7.50 for a neutered/spayed dog. Seniors, 65 and older, are eligible to register one dog at a reduced rate of $3 upon proof of age being presented.

Dog owners who fail to register their dog by May 1, will be subject to late charges, a $32 Civil Forfeiture fine and a court summons for each unregistered dog.

Licenses are available at the Town Clerk’s office during our normal business hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you no longer have your dog, please contact the Town Clerk’s office at 603-424-3651 so that we may update our records. Records that are not updated result in this office having to follow-up on the unlicensed dog, wasting valuable time and tax dollars, she noted.
