By Vermont Law all dogs and wolf hybrids six months of age or older must be licensed annually at the Town Clerk's Office in the town where the animal resides by April 1.
- Licenses go on sale beginning in January and there is a late charge if purchased after April 1st.
In order to license your dog you must present the following items to the Town Clerk’s Office:
- A copy of a valid rabies certificate (unless one is already on file)
- Proof of spayed/neutering (new dogs only)
- Payment (see fee schedule)
How to submit a required paperwork:
- Send email lputvain@townofjohnson.com
- Mail: Town of Johnson P.O. Box 383 Johnson, VT 05656
- In person: Deliver to Town Clerk's Office during office hours.
- Dropbox: Official Town drop box located outside front door @ 293 Lower Main West
Make sure the rabies certificate includes your name, your physical and mailing address, your contact information, your dog’s name, your dog's age (years/months), color, breed(s) and size (pounds). You can request that your vet send us the current rabies certificates directly.
