Dog Licenses
All dogs, three months or over, must be licensed each year by March 31st of each year. Please note a $10 late charge is assessed for all licenses beginning April 1st. A current rabies vaccination record and spay/neuter certificate is required prior to issuing a license.
The fee for the license is $10 for all neutered male and spayed female dogs and $20 for male and female dogs that have not been neutered/spayed.
You can license your dog online only if the Town Clerk's office has on file the current rabies certificate and spay/neuter certificate. You can email these documents to Denise Smith.
To license a dog at the Town Clerk's office, please complete the Dog License Information document (PDF) and bring the rabies certificate, the spay/neuter certificate, and the fee (cash or check).
To license a dog by mail, complete the Dog License Information document (PDF) or the tear-off document attached to the Annual Census Form. Attach the rabies certificate, the spay/neuter certificate, a check payable to the Town of Upton, and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Please mail these documents to:
Town Clerk Office
1 Main Street - Suite 11
Upton MA 01568
Once the license is issued, the dog tag and license will be mailed to the owner. If you have any questions, please contact the Town Clerk office at 508-529-3565.
