Dog License
Procedure
|
State Statue requires that all dogs be licensed and
have a current tag affixed to their collar or harness. All dogs seven (7)
months or older must be licensed.
All dog licenses expire on January 31
of each year, regardless of when the license was purchased in the previous
year. A late fee of $5.00 will be enforced March 1st. License must be issued in
the name of an adult member of the household.
In accordance with the
State Department of Health, we can not issue a dog license for a dog if the
date of their rabies certificate expires before October 31st. You can attend
any rabies clinic in the State of New Jersey. Please consult your newspaper for
a scheduled rabies clinic in any municipality in the State of New Jersey.
Please remember your dog may get a rabies shot in any municipality in the State
of New Jersey but you must purchase their license in Plumsted Township. If your
dog had a license in Plumsted Township in the Year 2001 you will receive your
renewal form in the mail during the first week of January 2002. Please read the
instructions on the back of the form for renewing your dog's license. Please be
sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return of your dog
license. If this is the first time you are licensing your dog in Plumsted
Township, please call the Municipal Clerk's Office or stop in to obtain forms
for licensing him/her.
During the year 2001 the Township Committee
passed an Ordinance reducing the local portion oi the license fee by 50% for
residents who has attained the age of sixty-two years of age or who is totally
and permanently disabled as certified by the Social Security Administration or
a physician. Anyone covered by this fee reduction must present a form of
identification to validate the entitlement of the fee reduction to the
satisfaction of the Municipal Clerk's Office.
