Pet Licenses

Did you know, City Code defines certain situations where you are required to obtain a pet license. For example, if you keep or harbor a dog older than six months, for more than 14 consecutive days, you need to obtain a dog license. You can learn more by referencing section 5-2-3 of City Code.
