Town Clerk Connor B. Degan and Director of Information Technology Josh Grossetti are pleased to announce the launch of an online dog licensing system for Hopkinton residents.

Owners can now visit this link to search for their dog to renew their license. Owners with dogs that have previously been registered will also receive an email reminder that will include a link to renew the license. New dog owners can visit the link and click on the "Apply for a New Permit" button in the top right corner of the page.

“We look forward to this new system increasing ease and accessibility for our residents when it comes to licensing their dogs," Town Clerk Degan said. "This streamlined process will make it easier for residents to stay in compliance while allowing us to do more to keep them informed of the deadlines."

Owners must provide their contact information, property information, dog and veterinary information, including evidence of the pet being neutered or spayed and a rabies vaccination certificate

All dog owners in Hopkinton must obtain a license for dogs six months and older on or before April 1 each year. The fee for licensing spayed or neutered dogs is $10. The fee for dogs that are not spayed or neutered is $15. If a dog is not licensed on or before April 1 a late fee of $25 per household is added. Kennel licenses are also available through the online system.

“We are excited to be launching this new system for dog owners to utilize during the annual licensing period," Director Grossetti said. "The entire renewal and registration process can now be conveniently completed online, which will greatly simplify the licensing process.”
