NOTICE TO ALL WASHINGTON COUNTY DOG OWNERS Pursuant to Section 174.052, Wisconsin Statutes, notice is hereby given to all owners of dogs in Washington County that dog licenses and rabies vaccinations are required. Vaccination by a licensed veterinarian against rabies is required of all dogs (Section 95.21(2)) within 30 days after the dog reaches 4 months of age and revaccinated within one year after the initial vaccination. The owner of a dog shall have the dog revaccinated against rabies by a veterinarian when the certificate expires or within three (3) years of previous vaccination. The certificate of rabies vaccination must be presented to the collecting official before a dog license may be issued. All dogs five (5) months of age or older require a license. The minimum license fee for neutered males or spayed females is $3.00, upon presentation of evidence attesting to the same, and $8.00 for the unneutered male or unspayed female dog or one-half of these amounts if the dog became five (5) months of age after July 1, of the license year. The governing body of any town, village, or city may raise the minimum dog license tax. Any person who keeps multiple dogs or operates a kennel may apply for a multiple dog license. The fee is $35.00 for twelve (12) dogs or less and additional $3.00 for each dog in excess of twelve (12). Dog licenses may be obtained from your local town, village or city treasurer or designee during the course of any given year. Dog owners should notify their treasurer if their dog is given away or has died, so that you will not be considered delinquent. An affidavit of death is available. PENALTY Every owner of a dog 5 months of age or older who fails to obtain a license by April 1, will be assessed a late fee of $5.00. Ashley A. Reichert, Washington County Clerk WNAXLP March 4 2026 LWIX0459415
