Auditor John S. Federer wishes to remind Clark County residents that Friday, January 31st, is the last day to purchase dog tags without a penalty. Per Ohio Revised Code, all dogs over three months old and that have been owned for more than 30 days are required to be licensed.
“We are offering 3 easy ways to purchase your 2014 Clark County dog tags prior to the January 31st deadline,” said Auditor Federer. “You may purchase your tags on-line via a secure site with a credit card at www.clarkcounty.dogtaglicense.com; by completing the application and mailing it along with a self-addressed stamped envelope and your check made payable to John S. Federer, Clark County Auditor, P. O. Box 1325, Springfield, Ohio 45501(postmarked by 1/31/14); or in person with cash or check at the Clark County Auditor’s Office, 31 N. Limestone Street, Springfield. Additionally, due to changes in state law this year, we now offer dog owners the option to purchase multi-year licenses during the renewal period. Both 3 year and permanent dog tags (lifetime tag for the dog) are available on-line or at the Auditor’s Office. Please note that all tags are non-transferrable between dogs.”
Regular 1 Year Tags are $20 ($2.00 on-line convenience fee), 3 Year Tags are $60 and Permanent (lifetime of dog) Tags are $200. Regular 1 Year Tags are also being sold at various remote sites.
