Time Running Short To Get Your Dog Legal In Tewksbury

Town of Tewksbury: Tewksbury Town Clerk, Denise Graffeo, reminds dog owners that the Dog Bylaw requires that any dog not licensed on or before March 15th, shall pay a late dog license fee. Effective Friday, March 16th a $5.00 late fee will begin to be assessed. Dogs that are new to Town may be licensed at any time throughout the year without incurring a late fee.

The license is valid for one calendar year, and must be renewed annually. A dog owner applying
for a license shall be obligated to pay all outstanding dog license fees relating to the past licensing
period and any outstanding violation notices. A current Rabies Certificate as well as a Certificate
of Spaying or Neutering must be presented before a dog license may be issued, unless currently on
file in this office. Please be reminded that the Town Clerk’s office hours are Monday through
Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

For your convenience, you may prefer to license your dog online or by mail. Below is a link to
