A penalty of $2.00 per month is charged for each month after March 1 for late licensing. The licensing fees are as follows:
- Each Sterile Animal - $5.00
- Each Non-Sterile Animal - $40.00

Verification of sterilization by a licensed veterinarian is required. Cost for licensing animals brought into the City or upon reaching the minimum age on or after March 1 of the licensing year will be 50% of the set fee. For your convenience, licenses may be purchased at the following locations:
