Time to License your Dog!

January 1, 2025

How do I license my dog? What are the fees?

Per State and Local Town Ordniance, all dogs  need to be registered/licensed by six months of age in the town in which they reside to be legal. The State has increased their portion of the licensing fee by $2.00 to allocate additional funds to the low-cost rabies clinics, low-cost spay neuter clinics, and the continued enforcement of animal welfare issues. Towns collect license fees and send them to the state.

You can obtain a dog license by coming into the office with a VALID RABIES CERTIFICATE and payment. You can now pay on line by credit card or check, but you would need to send us a copy of a VALID RABIES CERTIFICATE before a tag can be issued. We can mail the tag back to you. Please call the office with any questions at 802-525-3007.




Before April 1st an altered male/female would have a total fee of $11.00 ($4 Town Fee -$4 Neuter Program-$3 Rabies Program)

Before April 1st an un-altered Male/female would have a fee of $15.00 ($8 Town Fee- $4 Neuter Program-$3 Rabies Program)

The Town of Westmore is seeking public comments on the draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The public comment period will run from July 1 through July 21. A copy of the draft plan can be found on the Town's website here or a copy can be picked up at the town offices. Please submit comments to Stephanie Magnan of SEAM Solutions at steph.magnan@seamsolutionsvermont.com . The purpose of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is to identify local natural hazards that are a threat to the community, and outline mitigation actions to reduce vulnerability to these hazards. Maintaining an updated Hazard Mitigation Plan is one of the four requirements for Emergency Relief Assistance Fund (ERAF) status and is an eligibility requirement to apply for Hazard Mitigation Grants.
