Renew Dog License
Fairfax County asks: Did you get a pandemic pooch this past year?
Then you should know that every dog four months or older must be licensed with Fairfax County.
Get your annual dog license or renew it by Tuesday, Feb. 1. The fee is $10 per dog, except for service dogs which are given licenses for free. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/taxes/dog-license-information
After you submit your license application or renewal, you’ll be mailed a tag for your dog’s collar.
If you are getting a license for the first time, you must provide a current rabies vaccination certificate. When renewing, proof of vaccination isn’t required unless the certificate has expired.
If your dog is already licensed, you should have received a renewal notice in the mail in November from the Department of Tax Administration.
You can renew and pay online. There is a third-party service fee for e-check, credit and debit card payments online. https://ffxpayments.virginiainteractive.org/Payments/Doglicense
Check your renewal notice to find your dog’s registration number and previous license number which you’ll need to renew online. If you don’t have this information handy or didn’t get a renewal notice, contact the Department of Tax Administration at 703-222-8234, TTY 711, on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
