JUNE IS DOG LICENSING MONTH

All dogs over the age of six (6) months must be licensed by the Town Clerk annually on or before June 30^th (per CT General Statute Sec.22-338). The license is valid from July 1st through June 30th. You must show proof of current rabies vaccinations or licenses cannot be issued. 

When licensing a dog for the first time, please provide proof that the dog has been neutered or spayed. The license fee for a neutered/spayed dog is $8.00; the fee for an unaltered dog is $19.00.  There is a $1.00 late fee per month after June 30th.  You do not need to wait to receive the renewal postcard in the mail to renew your license. 

This month we are holding a drawing for TOP DOG.  It is $5.00 to enter.  All proceeds will be going to the Monroe Playground Foundation for the new Wolfe’s Den playground.  You can win top dog tag #1, #2 OR #3.

If you move to Monroe from another town in Connecticut, bring that town's current license to the Monroe Town Clerk's office.  For a $1.00, you will receive a Monroe dog license and a new tag number. If you lose your current tag it can be replaced for a fee of $.50 (fifty cents).

You may obtain a dog license in person at the Monroe Town Clerk's office, or by mail by sending a check made out to “Town of Monroe” with the correct fee (including any late fees), current rabies certificate and proof of spay/neuter along with a self-addressed stamped return envelope to:
