State law requires that all dogs over 6 months have a current dog license.  The dog licenses in the Town of Yarmouth expire June 30th of each year.

Soon you will be able to license a new dog or renew a previously licensed dog online, via mail or as usual at Town Hall.  You may also call in for a renewal if a new rabies certificate is not needed. 

With the new system, protect your dog, using the online system you can add a photograph of your dog so that if your dog is lost it will be easier to return your dog to you.  The breed, color and photograph will help identify a lost dog if the tag is not on the dog's collar.
