TAX & LICENSE / PET LICENSING

Ohio maintains state laws that require dog licensing including annual rabies vaccinations as well as leash and nuisance ordinances. Dogs must be licensed if they are at least three months old by January 31. First-time licenses and renewals must be finalized between December 1 and January 31 each year to avoid late penalties. New residents have 30 days to comply with licensing regulations. Licenses can be purchased through your county auditor’s office (listed under Ohio Real Property Tax section). The following organization can offer a wealth of additional information:
