Pet Registrations

NJ Law mandates that residents register their cats and/or dogs. Pet registrations are done annually. Dog licenses are to be renewed every January and have until the end of the month to renew before late fees are assessed. Cat licenses are to be renewed every May and have until the end of the month to renew before late fees are assessed. Renewals can also be done online via the SDL Portal. You will need to upload proof of rabies vaccination and can pay online, otherwise feel free to stop by the Clerk’s Office on the 2^nd floor.
