Dog licenses are valid for one calendar year from June to June and must be purchased every year. Redford Township offers dog licenses at a reduced rate of $15 when purchased in the month of June. Seniors 62 and older can receive a reduced rate of $10 in June with proof of age.
Residents who purchased a dog license for the prior year will be mailed a renewal application. Dog licenses will be available for purchase starting on June 1st of each year. Licenses are sold through the Water Department within the Public Services Building located at 12200 Beech Daly during normal business hours, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Only cash and check are accepted for payment of dog licenses.
If you are a new resident, have adopted a new pet or your pet was too young to receive a rabies vaccination by June, you can still purchase a discounted license for $15. The license must be purchased within 30 days of moving into Redford Township or within 30 days of your pet receiving the rabies vaccination. After that time, you will be required to pay a higher amount.
