Renew your dog license

You need to renew your dog license every year. If you don't have a license yet, apply for a new pet license.

Need to know

• Cost is $12 for neutered or $15 for non-neutered dogs
• You must renew by January 31 every year
• Late fee is $3 in February, and $1 for each month after

Before you start

• State law requires a rabies certificate valid through October 31, 2025. When you renew, you'll need to enter your dog's rabies certificate expiration date.
• If your dog is newly spayed or neutered, or your dog has an updated rabies certificate, email a copy of the certificates to CBayait@SomervilleNJ.org.

Steps

Pay the license fee by online check or cash. If you have late fees, include them in your payment.

• • Pay with your bank account (ACH debit transaction)
  • Pay with exact cash at Borough Hall
