Medina County Auditor | Dog Licenses

Dog License Information

All dogs 3 months of age or older must be licensed, regardless of whether the dog is kept inside or out. In addition to the law, licensing your dog is their ticket home when they are lost.

Please remember that dog licenses are to be renewed between December 1st and January 31st of each year. During this renewal period, licenses will cost $14.00 per dog. If you do not purchase your license during the renewal period, an additional late penalty of $14.00 will be added to each dog.

If you are new to Medina County or you have just obtained a new dog, please be sure to get your license 30 days from the date you acquired the dog.

If your dog loses or destroys their tag, please stop by Auditor Capretta's office and we will make a new tag for you at a cost of $5.00 per duplicate tag.

We also sell 3 year dog licenses at a cost of $42.00 and permanent dog licenses at a cost of $140.00.

Kennel licenses are $70.00. If purchased late, they are $140.00.

You may purchase a 1 year, 3 year or permanent license online, but they will be subject to a processing fee.

Below is a list of local license locations that sell licenses for us. If you choose to purchase your dog tag at any of the following locations you will be charged an extra 75¢ processing fee.
