The 2025 Dog license renewal began on June 1, 2025. Owners with a current rabies certificate on file are encouraged to renew licenses online. The online registration system will accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Credit card fees will apply. Once the transaction is completed a tag will be mailed to you.
Dogs that require an updated rabies certificate can email them to townclerk@suffieldct.gov. Once updated into the system owners will be able to proceed with online renewal.
New dogs can be registered by mail. Please include the dog license application found on the Town Clerks page on the Town of Suffield website, the fee, current rabies vaccination and proof of spay or neutering, if applicable. Rabies tags alone are not an accepted proof of vaccination.
Connecticut State Law requires all dogs 6 months of age or older to be licensed in the town of residency. The yearly dog registration period set by state statute and runs from June 1st through May 31st.
All fees are set by State Statute and are as follows: $8.00 for spayed or neutered and $19 for non-spayed or non-neutered dogs.
On July 1, 2025, by law, there will be an additional charge of $1.00 per month for each month the dog is not licensed.
Postcard renewal reminders are no longer being mailed. All renewal reminders will be emailed. If you did not receive an email reminder please send an email to townclerk@suffieldct.gov.
Updated rabies certificates are always welcome to keep your dog’s certification current. Please email townclerk@suffieldct.gov.
We continue to honor the tradition of recognizing Suffield’s service dogs by graciously awarding them one of the first ten tags.
