Pet Licenses

Pet licenses (renewals and new licenses) can be obtained through the Service First desk at City Hall or directly from Regional Animal Services of King County. To apply online click here.

Owners who fail to license their pets will face fnes -- $125 for a spayed or neutered pet; $250 for an unaltered pet.

License Renewal:

Fill out a short application.
Renew licenses annually.
Bring your pet's license number.

New License:

Fill out a short application.
If animal has been altered (spayed or neutered), bring proof.
If owner is a senior citizen, bring proof.
Pay the licensing fee.

Benefits of a pet license include:

Found pets are reunited quickly with their owner. The Pet License office number is on the license. If someone finds your pet, they will call the number, get your contact information, even after hours, and reunite you and your pet.
Your pet gets a free ride home the first time it is found. County staff will attempt to deliver your pet home to you immediately, skipping a trip to the animal shelter.
Your pet gets a longer care period. When found, your licensed pet will be safely cared for at the Pet Adoption Center for a longer time.
You and your pet get the Vacation Pet Alert. When you leave home on vacation, call 206-296-2712 to register where your pet will be while you are on vacation, who will be taking care of your pet and where to reach you. We will call the correct number if your pet gets loose during your vacation.
License fees support the return of hundreds of lost pets to their homes and help adopt thousands of homeless pets to new families every year. Pet license fees also fund investigation of animal neglect or cruelty, spay/neuter programs to reduce pet over-population, and community education services.
