Merrimack Clerk Offers Updates to Residents

MERRIMACK, NH - Merrimack Town Clerk Diane Trippett would like residents to know that there if you have a dog that isn't licensed or want to change your political party designation, there are deadlines for these activities.

Dog licenses, according to the clerk, were due by April 30, 2016. As of May 5, there are still 910 unlicensed dogs in town.

"To avoid fines and late fees (set by state law) that will begin on June 1, please get your dog licensed ASAP," she noted. "Also, if you had a dog in Merrimack but no longer have it or no longer live here, please contact us and let us know."

At a cost of almost $7, the clerk's office doesn't want to be sending fine letters unnecessarily to people that no longer have their dog. You may send information to: townclerk@merrimacknh.gov or call 603-424-3651.
