Licenses expire at the end of the month in which the rabies vaccination was given. Check your license to determine the expiration year.
A current rabies vaccination certificate signed by a veterinarian is required to purchase a license and a recent 3 year vaccine is required for a 3 year license. A license cannot extend more than 30 days past the expiration of the vaccine.To obtain a sterilized license you must submit proof that your dog is surgically sterilized. You can do this by presenting a Veterinarian's Certificate of Sterilization or swearing to the fact by affidavit at the Ingham County Animal Control Department Or Ingham County Treasurer's Office when purchasing your license.There is no pro-rated three year license and no refund for any unused portion. Licenses can be purchased at the Ingham County Treasurer Offices (2nd floor County Courthouse in Mason or 313 W.
