Dog licenses will be increasing for the 2025 season.
In the 2024 session, the Vermont Legislature increased the fee to be
collected for the State of Vermont Rabies Control Program from $1 to $3
effective January 1, 2025. See Act 167 (2024).
This raises the total that clerks must collect to $11 for neutered or
spayed dogs and $15 for unneutered ones registered by April 1, of which
$7 must be remitted to the state. The law also expanded the use to which
the money collected may be spent to include the administration of the
State’s animal welfare laws.
After April 1, the prices increase to $13.00 for neutered or spayed dogs
and $19.00 for unneutered ones.
