All dogs living in city limits must wear a collar and be licensed, and be vaccinated for rabies. Any licensed or unlicensed dog running at large within the City, or any dog within the City not wearing a collar and valid city dog license, or any dog not vaccinated for rabies as required herein, is declared to be a public nuisance and its owner may be responsible for a fine. A "dog running at large" is defined as a dog running off the premises of its owner or keeper when not being held on a leash.
License terms are January 1st through December 31st every year.
If license fees are not paid by May 1st of every year, a penalty of $1 will be added to the license for the first 30 days of such delinquency and an additional $0.50 for each month of delinquency thereafter. Failure to pay such fines may result in surrender of such dog by its owner.
Payments can be made with Cash, Check, or Credit Card. Contact the Auditor's office at 701-477-3610 for more information.
