The Town of North Reading By-Laws (Chapter 23 “Animals”) requires that each dog three-months and older be licensed by June 1st annually. On July 1st, a late fee will also be assessed in addition to the cost of the license.
Proof of spaying or neutering is required, as well as a current rabies certificate which provides information regarding the dog (name, age, breed, color, sex, date of rabies vaccination and duration).
If you are unable to come to the office, the dog license can be obtained by mail by forwarding the rabies certificate and proof of spaying or neutering (if such is the case), together with the owner information (name, address, telephone), appropriate fee and a self-addressed stamped envelope. The tag, license and other documentation will be returned. Your check should be made payable to the “Town of North Reading”:
Please note that the Town has adopted the provisions of Chapter 369 of the Acts of 2002, which allows those persons 70 years of age and older to license their dog(s) at no cost.
