CAT / DOG LICENSES

Dear Pet Owner

 

State law requires all dog and cat licenses are to be renewed each year.  All dogs and cats six (6) months of age or older, kept in the Borough of Helmetta, are required to be licensed.

 

The cost is $8.00 for spayed / neutered and $11.00 for non-spayed / non-neutered if paid before January 31st.  There will be a late fee per animal for licenses obtained after January 31st.  If you are mailing in your application, the postmark must be before January 31st, if not the late charge must be included in your payment.  No exceptions!  Late fees are licenses obtained during February are $5.00; during March $10.00; and after March $15.00 per animal

 

You may renew your license in person, Monday through Friday from 09:00 AM - 02:00 PM, you may mail your renewal in or you may use the drop-box on the left side of the building.  Checks or money orders should be made payable to "Borough of Helmetta".  If paying by cash, please try to have exact amount.  Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.

 

We will need to see a copy of your pet/s rabies vaccination and if spayed / neutered a copy of this also.  The records will be returned to you.  All animals with rabies vaccinations expiring during January through October of the year must be vaccinated before a new license can be issued, per NJ State Law.  Therefore, if your vaccination expires on October 31st of the license, year, and a license can and will not be issued until the animal/s receives a new vaccination.

 

If you no longer have your pet, please call me at 732-521-4946 ext. 100 so we may update our records.  You may call at any time and leave a message.

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.

 

WHEN RENEWING YOUR LICENSE PLEASE GIVE ME THE NAME OF THE VETERINARIAN AND THE DATE YOUR PET WAS SPAYED / NEUTERED.  IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU ARE APPLYING FOR THE LICENSE, I NEED TO SEE THE ORIGINAL COPY
