Centre County Dog Licenses

Requirements

State law requires that all dogs three months or older must be licensed in the county where they are maintained. New tags should be displayed beginning January 1, 2007. Dogs without licenses could subject their owners to penalities. A license serves a very important purpose in helping to return a dog to its owner if it should happen to stray or become lost.

Fees

Licenses for productive males or females are $8 while the fee for unproductive males or females is $6. Senior citizens may purchase a license for a productive male or female for $6 and an unproductive male or female for $4. For additional information, contact the Treasurer's Office.

Locations

Centre County dog licenses are available from the Treasurer's Office or from 15 additional convenient locations throughout the county. All types of dog licenses, including senior citizen, may be purchased at the outlets. However, arrangements for lifetime licenses must be made at the Treasurer's Office and owners must be prepared to go to a veterinarian to have the dog microchipped or tattooed.
