Starting in 2004, both one and three-year licenses were made available and expire on the last day of the month (not year) that the rabies vaccination expires. Be sure to apply for a dog license in the month (not year) that your dog’s vaccination expires. Example; if your dog’s rabies presently expires in April 2021 you still need to apply in April 2021 for a one-year license. After your dog’s rabies vaccination is updated in April 2021 and your dog receives a three-year rabies vaccine, then it will be eligible for a three-year dog license at that time, expiring in April 2024. If the owner prefers, a one-year license may still be purchased.
