Do you license your dog? Yes in Fulton County, GA it is required by Law. Your Vet will register you with the county upon your dog or cat receiving its first Rabies vaccination. After that the county will notify you yearly (or every three years depending on your license and Rabies vaccination schedule). Failure to license will get you a summons to Superior Court and you will be fined steeply for failure to comply. The reason they're so strict is because they use licensing to control the rabies outbreaks (we get them a lot in some counties). Also use it as a method to locate lost or misplaced dogs.
How much does it cost? Spayed Female 3 year license is $10.00
What is the fine for not doing it? There is a HUGE fine for not complying to the licensing laws. You are summons to appear before a Judge in Superior Court (the same court as Traffic violations).
Does your county seem to enforce them? Yes strictly, the only way around it is to go to a Vet outside of Fulton County for the first set of shots
How often do you have to license them? Either yearly or every 3 years.
Also should be noted that licensing in Fulton County is for both Dogs and Cats.
