2021 Dog Licenses Available

All Gardner residents who keep or own dogs are reminded that 2020 dog licenses expire on April 30, 2021*.  (*This is a one time extension due to our receiving tags late from our supplier caused by the pandemic.) 

Dogs are required to be licensed when they attain the age of 6 months and by every March 31 thereafter. 

2021 Licenses may be purchased in the City Clerk’s webpage. Fees are $11.00 for spayed or neutered dogs and $15.00 for unaltered dogs. Proof of alteration must be provided when first licensed and rabies vaccination must be current.

Owners may also order a license through the mail.  The Mail-in License Application Form is available on the City’s website at www.gardner-ma.gov and found on the City Clerk’s Department link under Licenses and Permits.  (Applications accompanied with a check may also be placed in our drop off box in front of City Hall.)  

Owners must mail proof of current rabies vaccination and include a self-addressed stamped envelope along with payment to City Clerk, 95 Pleasant Street, Room 121, Gardner, MA 01440-2630.

Call the Clerk’s Office at 978-630-4058 with any questions.
