June is the renewal month for dog licenses in Orange for dogs six months of older. This year, in conjunction with the town’s bicentennial anniversary, the Town Clerk’s office is offering the opportunity to recognize residential dogs as part of this annual license renewal process.
One of the three ways to obtain a license is to visit the Town Clerk’s office at Town Hall Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Residents who choose to renew a license in person will receive a bicentennial summer of celebration commemorative treat for their pooch.
If you are unable to stop by in person, visit the town website at orange-ct.gov for instructions on how to renew a dog license electronically or by mail.
The Town Clerk’s office is inviting dog owners to share a picture of their dog that will be on display at Town Hall for the entirety of the 200th anniversary celebration. Email one of your favorite photos to mshaw@orange-ct.gov.
The costs for a dog license are $8 for a spayed female or neutered male and $19 for a male or female that has not been spayed or neutered. An up-to-date rabies vaccination certificate and a neutering/spaying certificate are required to renew a dog license. Under state law, it is the responsibility of the dog owner to obtain a license in June each year. After June 30, there is a state mandated $1 per month penalty for unlicensed dogs.
If you have any questions, call the Town Clerk’s office at 203-891-4030.
