Time to License Your Dog

Dog License

June first means that it is time to license your dog. Pursuant to Connecticut General Statute the owner of each dog over the age of six (6) months must license their dog(s) with the Office of the Town Clerk in the town of residence no later than the 30th of June each year.

For first time licensing, or if your dog's rabies vaccination has expired, you must include a valid rabies certificate in order to license your dog(s). To obtain the discounted license fee for spayed or neutered animals you must include  a copy of the spay/neuter certificate.

The licensing fee is $19.00 for each unaltered dog or $8.00 for each spayed or neutered dog. There is a $1.00 per month late fee assessed for overdue licenses. Failure to license your dog(s) is punishable by a fine in the amount of $75.00 per dog.

Licenses may be obtained in person at the Woodstock Town Clerk's office during normal business hours. You may also obtain licenses through the U.S. Postal Service. Please print the Dog License Application and return it with full payment to the Town Clerk, 415 Route 169, Woodstock CT 06281, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return of your dog tags. Checks must be marked payable to "Town of Woodstock". Please complete a separate application for each dog you must license. You may also drop your envelope in the drop box outside of the Town Hall.
