BRATTLEBORO-Vermont dogs and wolf-hybrids 6 months and older must be licensed on or before Friday, April 1.
For dogs not previously licensed in town, a new dog license application form is available at brattleboro.gov/dog-licensing. The licensing fees, due by Wednesday, April 1, are $21 for neutered animals and $25 for un-neutered animals. Specially trained assistance dogs may be eligible for a reduced licensing fee.
Dogs and wolf-hybrids licensed after the due date will be charged a penalty. In addition, any person failing to license them may be fined up to $100 and the dog or wolf-hybrid may be impounded.
License renewals may be processed and obtained in the town clerk's office in person, by using the drop box in the Municipal Center parking lot, through the mail, or at brattleboro.gov/dog-licensing.
State law requires that dogs and wolf-bhybrids be vaccinated against rabies. If an animal has been spayed or neutered, the certificate issued by the veterinarian must be presented when licensing the animal for the first time. A current rabies certificate issued and signed by a veterinarian must be filed with the town clerk.
If an animal licensed last year has died or been re-homed, contact the town clerk's office at 802-251-8157, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
