Dog License Deadline Extended Additional Month
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The deadline to license a dog without incurring extra fees has been extended through February 28 to accommodate more owners obtaining licenses, Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano announced Tuesday.
The new deadline will enable Franklin County dog owners who were busy during the holidays or otherwise distracted to register for their legally required dog license. The price of a license doubles after the February 28 deadline, as per state law.
“We hope this provides all of our county residents with more opportunities to be able to complete the all-important step of Protecting their Pal by registering their dog with the county,” said Stinziano.
Licenses may be purchased online at doglicense.franklincountyohio.gov, or at the Auditor’s office license counter, 373 S. High St., 21st Floor in downtown Columbus. The counter is open Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm.
Owners can also change addresses, download forms and update dog information via the online licensing system.
In addition to being required by state law, dog licensing ensures that any lost dog is returned quickly to their owners. License fees help support the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.
