How to License your Dog

It is the dog owner’s legal responsibility for making sure their dog is licensed in New York State. To get a dog license, your dog must be over four months old and have a current rabies vaccination certificate and proof of being spayed or neutered from a licensed veterinarian. 
While the Town Clerk is responsible for the licensing process, it is the dog owner’s responsibility to get their dog licensed through the Town Clerk’s office. You will receive one tag for the life of the dog, which gets renewed yearly. Please let Town Clerk know if you need a replacement tag.
Ownership change of a dog requires a new license. If you move out of Vienna, you are required to notify the new Town or City Clerk.

Spayed or Neutered $8.50
Not spayed or Neutered $21.50
For all late renewals, you will be charged the fee for every year you did not pay for a renewal. 

Example: Last renewal was 1/02/2022
Current year is 1/2/2025
Fee for a spayed dog would be 8.50 x 3 = $25.50
