Dog Licensing Information
How and when can I contact you?
Where do I license my dog?
Marion County Dog Licensing is done primarily at our main office at the Marion County Dog Shelter, but we have several options for renewing or purchasing a dog license. They include:
Why should I purchase a license and have my dog wear it?
When do I have to purchase a dog license?
Every person owning or keeping a dog in Marion County must purchase a dog license when:
The dog is six months of age or has its permanent canine teeth, whichever comes first; OR
Within 30 days of becoming owner or keeper; OR
Within 30 days of moving into Marion County.
You may also license your puppy free of charge and receive the same benefits listed above. Click here for an application.
