Attention: NOTICE TO TOWN OF NORWICH DOG OWNERS DID YOU KNOW? Did you know that New York State Law requires all dogs 4 months of age and older to be licensed? Licensing ensures that all dogs have been properly vaccinated against rabies for the protection of both you and your neighbors. The license also makes it easier to locate the owner of a lost dog when it is found. Any dog harbored at an address for more than 30 days must be licensed. How do I license my dog? Licensing your dog is easy!            ♦You can come to the Town Clerk’s Office with current rabies certificate and payment, or print out a Dog Licensing Form found on our website at https://townofnorwichny.gov.

The Dog Control Officer (DCO) is appointed by the Town to assist in the enforcement of NYS Dept. of Ag & Markets Article 7: Licensing, Identification and Control of Dogs and local laws. The DCO is authorized to serve appearance tickets when violations of Article 7 or local laws have been committed. Any person who observes a dog in violation of these laws may file a complaint with the DCO.
