Kennel Licenses

Dogs kept primarily in a kennel and not allowed to run at large, such as show dogs or dogs kept for breeding, are entitled to be licensed at the kennel fee rate. A person requesting licensing at the kennel rate shall establish by affidavit or signed statement:

1. If the kennel is a commercial kennel, that the kennel complies with applicable land use laws and ordinances;
2. That the person houses his or her dogs primarily in a kennel, as defined herein;
3. That the person has four dogs or more;
4. That the person has not been convicted of animal abuse under county or state law for failure to maintain minimum care standards; and
5. That the person has not been convicted under county or state law for allowing his or her dogs to be at large during any period for which he or she has had a kennel license.

Kennel licenses shall be valid for a one-year period from the date of purchase.

The license fee for dogs that qualify for the kennel fee shall be $5.00 per dog for up to 10 dogs and $1.00 per dog for each additional dog over 10 dogs.

Any person owning or keeping an unlicensed dog will be subject to a fine.
