Reminder: Washington, NH Dog Owners Must Renew Licenses by May 31

The Town Clerk of Washington, NH, has reminded all dog owners to renew their pet licenses by May 31, 2024. This requirement follows RSA 466:1, which mandates annual licensing by April 30. Owners who miss the deadline will face a Civil Forfeiture fee starting June 1, plus a late penalty of $1.00 per month.

The town has communicated this information through its website, the Transfer Station message board, and email notifications. These efforts aim to ensure that all dog owners are aware of the licensing requirements and the upcoming deadline.

The licensing fees are outlined in the notice. They range from $6.50 for neutered or spayed dogs to $20.00 for group or commercial licenses. Senior citizens are eligible for a reduced fee of $2.00.

The office is open for licensing on Thursdays from 1 PM to 7 PM, Fridays from 9 AM to 3 PM, and the last Saturday of each month from 9 AM to 12 PM. These hours are intended to provide residents with sufficient opportunities to renew their licenses in person.
