Animal License

Animal Licensing

The City's Animal Control Ordinance requires that all dogs and cats four months of age or older must be licensed (certificate of rabies vaccination required) and wear a collar with current tag attached. Further, the Ordinance provides that only two dogs and two cats may be licensed per residential household. View the Animal Licensing Form (PDF).

When renewing your pet's license, please provide a copy of the animal's Rabies Vaccination Certificate. The owner's name on the Rabies Certificate will need to match the owner's name of record on file with the City Clerk's Office. Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 734-722-2204 if you have any questions regarding your pet's Rabies Certificate.
