Dog Licensing & Control

Every dog, owned or harbored in New York State for longer than 30 days must be licensed in the town, city, or village where the dog is being harbored. Town and Village of Westfield residents may apply for and renew a dog license at the office of the Town Clerk in Eason Hall. Owners will need:

  • A certificate from a licensed veterinarian showing that the dog has been spayed or neutered, unless this proof is already on file with the clerk;
  • Dogs three months or older must have proof of a rabies vaccination signed by a licensed veterinarian or a certificate stating why the life of the dog would be endangered by the vaccine
  • License fees are $5.00 for a spayed or neutered dog & $13.00 if not spayed or neutered.
