June marks the beginning of the Dog Licensing Year. In Connecticut, it is the law to license your dog in the town in which you reside. Dogs must be licensed beginning at age 6 months, and all dogs are licensed annually during the month of June.
You can license in person during Town Hall regular business hours, by mail, or the drop box located behind Town Hall. Only during the month of June, residents have the option of licensing online via the Town’s website or by scanning a QR Code. Dogs must have a current rabies certificate and proof of spay/neuter, if applicable. During June, the fee for a spayed/neutered dog is $8.00 and for a non-spayed/neutered dog is $19.00. After the month of June, a late fee of $1.00 per month or portion thereof is added per §22-349.
If you would like to register by mail, the drop box, or online, please visit the Town’s website at www.newfairfield.org and click on Dog Licenses in the Red Banner on the Home Page.
