When should I license my dog?
Immediately upon acquiring a new dog if it is at least three months old, then yearly by January 31st.
There is a penalty equal to the registration fee if the dog is not licensed within 30 days of obtaining the dog, or if purchased after January 31st. New puppies that are 3 months old or younger as of July 1st., are half price after that date. Fines for not registering dogs are approximately $80.00.

If you wish to file a formal complaint about a dog, be prepared to give our office the most information that you can. Please keep in mind, all of our work here is public knowledge. We cannot keep your name anonymous unless you can demonstrate a clear threat to your safety.
We cannot accept dog complaints by email. If you have a complaint please call our office at 419-334-2372.
We need your name and address and as much information about the dog owner as possible. The more information (name, address, type of offense) that you can give the better we can do our job. We do not handle barking dogs, cats, or wildlife.
We have to see a violation to issue a citation, UNLESS you wish to sign a sworn statement. Keep in mind false statements can be prosecuted as perjury.
