Dog Licenses Past Due

The following is a press release from Chester County.

Chester County dog owners should all have purchased licenses for their pets for 2012, according to Chester County Treasurer Ann Duke.

Dog licenses are valid from January through December, no matter when the previous license was purchased. According to state law, all dogs three months of age or older must have a current license or a $500 fine plus court costs can be assessed by the state Dog Warden. The Dog Warden is planning to canvass the County beginning in April and might be visiting your neighborhood.
