If you are new to the area and have never licensed your dog in Dover before:
You will need to bring in a current copy of your dogs Rabies certificate
A copy of their neutering/spaying certificate if applicable.
You can bring these items to the City Clerk's Office during normal business hours or mail them to us with the appropriate fee.
If you have licensed your dog in Dover before, the City Clerk's office will send out Licensing Reminders in the month of March and pet owners can either come into the City Clerk's Office or mail a copy of the current rabies and the fee to the City Clerk's Office.
