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, 2012. 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

License prices for 2012; productive males or females are $8.45 while the fee for unproductive males or females is $6.45. Senior citizens may purchase a license for a productive male or female for $6.45 and an unproductive male or female for $4.45

Lifetime licenses are also available but arrangements must be made at the Treasurers Office and owners must be prepared to go to a veterinarian to have the dog tattooed or micro chipped. The cost is $51.45 for productive males or females and $31.45 for neutered males or spayed females. The cost for a senior citizens lifetime license is $31.45 for productive males or females and $21.45 for neutered males or spayed females.
