Pet Registration
Dogs, cats, and ferrets are required to have a current rabies vaccination starting at four months of age, which must be maintained for the duration of the pet's life. The county registration serves as a means of ensuring that the rabies vaccination is kept current. Neutered animals cost a lower fee to register than intact animals, to encourage reduced pet overpopulation. (Specialty pet registrations are also available.)
Fees are as follows:
- Cat/Dog/Ferret Under 1 Year of Age

- Spayed and Neutered: $10
- Not Spayed or Neutered: $10
