Time is Running Out: Dog License Renewals

The City of Concord sends you this note as a reminder that dog licenses within the City of Concord should be renewed in the month of April. 

State of New Hampshire RSA 466:1 requires that every owner or keeper of a dog four months old or older license said dog in the municipal clerk’s office in the city or town in which the dog is kept.  Licenses are effective from May 1 to April 30 of the subsequent year. 

In accordance with RSA 466:1, we begin our annual dog licensing season.  Residents may either mail payments to renew their dog licenses to the City Clerk’s Office, 41 Green Street, Concord, NH or stop in to the Clerk’s Office to renew said license in person.  
 
In either case, licenses may only be issued if we have current rabies information on file.  Feel free to e-mail our office at cityclerk@concordnh.gov or call us at 225-8500 if you are unsure as to whether or not we have current rabies information on file.   

Fees:
Non-spayed or Non-neutered             $10.00
Spayed or Neutered                           $  7.50
Dogs under 8 months old                   $  7.50
5 or more dogs of same owner          $20.00
First dog for owner 65+                      $  2.00 (regular rate for any other dogs)

Owners who license a dog after May 31, 2015 are subject to additional fees.  If you are no longer required to license a dog with the City of Concord, because you relocated outside of Concord or Penacook or you no longer have your pet, please give us a call at 225-8500 or email us at cityclerk@concordnh.gov and we will update our records.  

The City Clerk’s Office is located at 41 Green Street, Concord, NH and office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with extended hours until 6:00 p.m. on Thursdays.
