Dog licenses will be renewable upon expiration of the rabies vaccination. Dog owners will be required to obtain either a one-year or three-year license based on the dog’s rabies vaccination date. A late fee will be imposed if the dog owner does not obtain a dog license by the last day of the month in which the dog’s current rabies vaccination expires pursuant to MCL 287.266(3) (f).
The following conversion period will be applied to dog licenses purchased in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010:
- Dog licenses issued in 2007 will be extended until the rabies vaccination is due in 2008.
- Dog licenses issued in 2008 will be extended until the rabies vaccination is due in 2009.
- Dog licenses issued in 2009 will be extended until the rabies vaccination is due in 2010.
During the conversion period, 2008 dog licenses will go on sale December 1, 2007 and 2009 dog licenses will go on sale December 1, 2008. 2010 dog licenses will go on sale January 1, 2010.
The fee schedule for the purchase of kennel licenses shall be set at $10.00 per year for 10 dogs or less and $25.00 per year for more than 10 dogs effective December 1, 2007. A fee of double the original license fee shall be charged for each previously licensed kennel if the kennel license is applied for after June 1, 2008.
