How do I license my dog?

By visiting the Town Clerk’s Office at the Aurora Municipal Center, 575 Oakwood Avenue.

All dogs in New York State require a license. Proof of a rabies vaccination from a veterinarian is required. The rabies certificate must contain the date the shot was given and the expiration. For dogs that are unable to receive a rabies shot, a Certificate of Exemption from Rabies Vaccination MUST be completed by the attending veterinarian and the dog owner. Certificates are available from the Town Clerk's office.
All dogs over the age of four (4) months must be licensed.

Dog licenses must be renewed every year and the fees are as follows:

  • Spayed / Neutered dogs $ 12.00
  • Unspayed / Unneutered dogs $20.00
  • Replacement ID tags $ 3.00
  • There is an additional fee of $5 per dog if your dog is found to be unlicensed during the dog census
