Yearly dog license fees in Wellesley will go up on July 1, 2023.
The fee to license a spayed or neutered dog will increase from $12 to $15 per year, and the fee to license a dog that is not spayed or neutered will increase from $20 to $25 per year.
Town bylaws require that all dogs in Wellesley over the age of six (6) months must be licensed by the Town Clerk. Pet owners who have not yet obtained a 2023 license, or who have a new puppy, have until June 30 to pay the old fee.
As a reminder:
- New dog licenses are available each year from January 1st through March 31st.
- Licenses must be renewed annually from January 1st though March 31st to avoid a fine.
- Each dog requires a separate application.
All pet owners are encouraged to apply for and renew dog licenses via the Town's online payment system.
