Pet Licensing
It is time to renew your pet license for 2010.
All 2010 pet licenses can be renewed through the City of DuPont. If you purchased a 2009 pet license from the City, courtesy renewal notices were mailed December 2009. For 2011, we will send renewal reminders by email. If you would like a courtesy reminder, please supply your email address on the application.
Residents can get their pet tag at City Hall, located in the Civic Center, at 1700 Civic Drive, DuPont (right off of Center Dr). We are open from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday.
All cats and dogs, three months of age or older, must be licensed by the City. All dogs and cats, three months of age or older, must be current on their vaccinations. Proof of vaccination must be presented at the time of licensing.
New residents have 30 days to license their cats or dogs, who are three months of age or older.
If your animal had a license, and you no longer have your pet, please contact City Hall at (253) 964-8121 to have your pet's name removed from our roster.
