Lebanon reminds residents to get their dogs licensed
Jun. 20—LEBANON — The Town of Lebanon is reminding residents to get their dogs licensed.
Connecticut law requires all dogs six months of age and older be licensed. The period for licensing is June 1 through June 30.
After June 30, residents will be penalized $ 1 per month for each month they fail to license their dog.
If licensing a new dog, a resident must provide the Office of the Town Clerk with their name, address, phone number, email address, name of dog, breed, age and color. The owner is also required to provide copies of proof of their dog's current rabies vaccination and proof that the dog is spayed/ neutered.
The fee for licensing is $ 8 for spayed/neutered dogs and $19 for unaltered dogs.
Dogs must have a valid rabies certificate at the time the license becomes valid.
Dog licenses can be renewed in person or by mail.
Dog licenses can be purchased at the Office of the Town Clerk, which is located at 579 Exeter Road, Lebanon, Connecticut 06249. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Thursday and Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday. The office is closed on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
For in-person purchases of dog licenses, cash and checks will only be accepted.
If renewing a dog license by mail, residents can mail to the Office of the Town Clerk. Checks can be made payable to the " Town of Lebanon" along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Current postage for one tag is $0.71 and two tags is $0.86. An additional $ 0.15 is required for each additional tag if there are more than two dogs. If renewing by mail, residents are asked to include a copy of their dog's current rabies vaccination and proof that they are spayed or neutered.
Licenses can also be renewed using the drop box located at the front entrance of Town Hall, 579 Exeter Road in Lebanon.
