Not sure if it's a service animal?  

​

• Is this a service animal required because of a disability?

• What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

​

The Jackson County Treasurers Office will now be following these guidelines when issuing a dog license.  For more information please review Qualifying Your Service Animal (PDF)

​

The Jackson County Treasurers Office is pleased to announce the Dog License Campaign (PDF) that provides a convenient online payment and a new 3 year dog license option.

​

• Michigan State Law requires ALL dogs to be rabies vaccinated and licensed at four months age.

• Please have proof of spay/neuter and proof of current rabies vaccination.

• With a 3 year rabies vaccine, the County of Jackson is making available a 3 year dog license.​

• Licensing your dog is one of the most important things you can do as a pet owner.

• A license tells everyone that your pet is not a homeless stray.

• Licensing your dog helps to control and prevent the spread of rabies.
