Licensing Dogs
By law, all dogs must be licensed with the Mendon Town City Clerk’s Office each year by April 1st. Rabies certificates and proof of spayed/neutering are required to license your pet. Please see below for fee schedule for dogs.
Licenses for 2025 will be open beginning January 2, 2025 and will be due by April 1, 2025.
In the 2024 session, the Vermont Legislature increased the fee to be collected for the State of Vermont Rabies Control Program from $1 to $3 effective January 1, 2025. See Act 167 (2024).
This raises the total that clerks must collect to $11 for neutered or spayed dogs and $15 for unneutered ones registered by April 1, of which $7 must be remitted to the state. The law also expanded the use to which the money collected may be spent to include the administration of the State’s animal welfare laws.
Mendon Fees:
Spayed/Neutered $13.00
Not Spayed/Neutered $17.00
After April 1st
Spayed/Neutered $16.00
Not Spayed/Neutered $20.00
