I live in Genoa Township. Where can I purchase a license for my dog
Dog licenses may be purchased from the Genoa Township Treasurer's Office, the Livingston County Animal Shelter, or the Livingston County Treasurer's Office.
What documents do I need to get a dog license?
In order to issue you a license we must see the paperwork from your veterinarian showing proof of spay/neutering, if applicable, as well as proof of current rabies vaccination.
Can I purchase a dog license by mail?
Yes. Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope and the necessary documents, along with a check made payable to Genoa Township, and mail to: Genoa Township Treasurer, 2911 Dorr Rd., Brighton, MI 48116. Your documents will be mailed back to you with the new license and tag.
I just got a new dog. What do I do to get a license?
Just like a current license, you will need the above documents. The delinquent fee will not be charged as long as you get the license within 30 days of the date you obtained the dog.
I just moved to the Township and it's after February. Should I license my dog?
Yes. New residents, just like new dogs, will not have to pay the delinquent fee if purchased within 30 days.
What will happen if a dog that isn't licensed is picked up by Animal Control?
Without the tag, Animal Control may not be able to locate the owner. The Livingston County tag number can be referenced 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week to quickly find the owner. If a dog is taken to the shelter, the owner will be responsible for all costs, including but not limited to, rabies shots, license fees, impound fees, boarding fees, etc.
What do I do if my current dog tag gets lost?
Replacement tags can be purchased at the Township for $1.00. Please bring originally-issued paperwork with you and new rabies certificate if expired.
When should I license my puppy?
You should purchase your puppy's license after it receives its first rabies vaccination, which is usually given when they are between 4-6 months old.
Will I receive a notice when I have to renew my dog license?
Yes. Once you have licensed your dog, the Livingston County Treasurer's Office will send you a notice annually in late November notifying you that it is time to renew the license. However, you do not have to receive the notice to renew.
