TAX & LICENSE / PET LICENSING

Georgia
Laws pertaining to pet licensing, leashes, and other animal related matters vary from one locality to another. Contact the animal control officer in your municipality or county for details on the rules and regulations in your jurisdiction.

South Carolina
Laws and regulations that govern pets are administered by local and county animal control agencies and officers. In the city of Columbia, owners of dogs and cats are required to license their pets annually. This includes an up-to-date rabies vaccination. To encourage responsible pet ownership and discourage overpopulation, fees for registration are lower for spayed and neutered animals. Contact your local animal control officer or your local veterinarian for more information on licensing, fees, leash laws, rabies vaccinations, and other pertinent information.
