Dog & Pet Licenses

All cats and dogs over 16 weeks of age are required to be vaccinated, and licensed annually. All licenses issued shall either expire on March 1 of each year, or upon expiration of the rabies vaccination certificate, whichever occurs first.

We are not currently offering online licensing of pets.  Licenses can be purchased at City Hall, Clerk's Office, for $10.00 (cash, check, or card (with a service fee)).  You must provide proof of vaccination.

Pets can be licensed in person, via mail, or by using the drop box in the circular drive in front of City Hall.  If using mail or the drop box, please pay by check payable to "City of GPW" (don't put cash in the drop box), and proof of rabies vaccination with the date administered and expiration date.  Replacement tags are $1.00.  

Should your pet get an updated rabies shot, we will update our records upon receipt of the new proof of vaccination.  Email cityclerk@gpwmi.us with updates.

Four pets (maximum dog amount is 3) are allowed per household. A fine may be imposed if your pet is found without tags.
