According to Article 7 of the NYS Agriculture and Markets Law, all dogs 4 months of age or older must be licensed. To obtain a license for your dog, see the Wilton Town Clerk at the Town Hall on Traver Road. Proof of rabies immunization is required . A spay or neuter certificate will reduce the fee. A silver tag with an identification number will be issued at the time of licensing. This tag as well as the rabies tag must be worn on your dog’s collar at all times. It is also recommended that a personal ID tag with a phone number also be worn for easy identification should your animal be lost.
Fees are as follows:
Spayed female $ 5.50 per year
Neutered male $ 5.50 per year
Unspayed female $13.50 per year
Unneutered male $13.50 per year
