A license may be issued with durations of one to three years. The license shall expire at the point that the rabies certificate for the animal expires or one, two or three years from the date of issuance, whichever comes first. Rabies vaccination is required by State law and Borough ordinance for all dogs and cats over the age of 4 months. Vaccination must be administered by a licensed veterinarian. The initial vaccination is valid for 1 year, and boosters are valid for 3 years.

If valid proof of rabies vaccination is not provided, a rabies voucher must be purchased at the time the pet license is issued.
