Dog Licensing Reminder:

Dog licensing for 2026 is still ongoing, and there are still many residents with unlicensed dogs in our community.

Licensing your dog is required by law and helps ensure the safety of your dog and the community.

If your dog is not currently licensed, please do so as soon as possible. Failure to license your dog will result in a summons being issued.

If you are unsure if your dogs rabies vaccination needs to be renewed for licensing purposes or if you are unsure if your dog is already licensed for the 2026 year please call  973-764-7751.

NJ State Law states that dogs rabies vaccinations cannot expire before November 1, 2026 for the licensing year. If your dogs rabies vaccination expires before then you are required to get a booster before you license your dog.
