The town clerks for Waterford, East Lyme and Montville are reminding dog owners that all dogs over 6 months old must be licensed by June 30 for the 2020-21 year. 

Because town halls are closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all licenses must be obtained or renewed by mail or placed in the drop box outside each town hall. 

Dog owners must enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope with two stamps for the return of the license and tag. If the rabies information on file with the Town Clerk is not current, the updated rabies certificate must be included.

The cost of the dog license is $8 for a neutered or spayed dog and $19 for non-altered dogs. For new dogs please send proof of spay or neuter. After July 31, a penalty charge will be imposed for each month that the dog is not licensed. 

For more information, contact the town clerks or access the website for your respective town.
