Are There License Fees?

Generally basic annual license fees are about $10 to $20. Fees are higher for animals that have not been spayed or neutered. Some places have raised fees for unaltered animals mainly to encourage people to get their pets spayed or neutered. Licenses for special assistance dogs as well as disabled or older owners are usually free; you will need to provide proof of your eligibility. You also may be able to buy a "lifetime license" which is valid for the dog's lifetime.
