Dog Licenses in Town of Rutland



Home	4177 Old Stage Rd., Brooklyn, WI 53521	608-455-3925

Dog Licenses

A NEW POLICY THIS YEAR IS THAT ALL DOG LICENSES WILL BE ISSUED INDIVIDUALLY. Kennel licenses are available only if you have a conditional use permit for a kennel. All owners of a dog five months of age or older must license that dog. Property owners are responsible for passing this information on to renters also. These licenses need to be purchased before April 30, 2007. Until April 3, they may be purchased from:

Jeanette Walker, Town of Rutland Treasurer,
838 Center Road,
Stoughton, WI 53589.

After April 3, they may be purchased from the newly elected treasurer until April 30. If a dog is over five months of age, but not licensed until after April 30, 2007; a penalty of double the normal fee will be charged as a late fee including kennel licenses which double in cost after the April 30 deadline. Many residents apply for dog licenses when mailing their property tax payment. If the rabies vaccination is current, this works well. Jeanette or the new treasurer will return the tax receipt, dog license, tag, and rabies vaccination certificate all at once in the one stamped, self-addressed envelope that you provided.
