The cost of licensing dogs in Clark County increases from $16 to $20 with the issuance of tags for 2010, according to Clark County Auditor George Sodders. The increase was approved by county commissioners earlier this year.

The county auditor’s office began mailing applications to dog owners on November 30th. The deadline for registration and licensing is February 1, 2010. After that, the cost of a tag doubles to $40. New dog owners must license their pet within 30 days of becoming the owner.

For a list of locations to purchase tags, go to the auditor’s web site at clarkcountyauditor.org or call 521-1862. The auditor’s office issued 24,152 tags for 2009 and collected over $346,824. The revenue is used to support the county’s humane society.
