Dog License / Registration Massachusetts State Law requires that all dogs in the Commonwealth over six months of age be licensed annually. All dogs that reside in the Town of Randolph must be registered at the Town Clerk/Registrar's Office. To register you must have a valid rabies certificate. The fee for a spayed/neutered dog is $15.00; otherwise the fee is $20.00. Registrations are on a calendar year basis starting on January 1st of each year. Also, for you convenience, we have included a dog license form in each census so that you may register your dog by mail. Last year, hundreds of residents took advantage of this innovation. Registering your dog is important because if your dog gets lost having a valid license means a quick and safe return of your pet. In addition, if you (or your pet) were bitten by a stray dog, it can be determined by the tag number if the dog has a current rabies vaccination. It also avoids late fines and penalties from the Animal Control Officer, so we urge all dog owners to be diligent in registering your dog. (Enforcement: Randolph Animal Control (781) 961-0946) |
