2018 dog licenses available Dec. 1

Schuylkill County residents as of Dec. 1 can buy 2018 dog licenses from the Schuylkill County Treasurer’s Office.

State law requires all dogs three months and older to be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year.

An annual dog license is $8.50, or $6.50 if the animal is spayed or neutered. Lifetime licenses are available for dogs that have permanent identification like a microchip or tattoo. Older adults and people with disabilities may be eligible for discounts.

The dog license application is simple and only requests owner contact information and details about the dog being licensed, including name, age, breed and color.
