Starting next week, the City of Yakima will offer new options for purchasing dog licenses.

Providing further flexibility for dog owners, the City is offering licenses with a one or 3-year duration.

“A prerequisite to licensing is proof of rabies vaccination,” said Supervising Code Inspector Tony Doan. “This vaccination expires every three years, so the 3-year dog license option is more efficient for the City and the savings are passed on to dog owners through a discounted fee.”

In keeping with Yakima Municipal Code 6.20, new fees and terms for dog licenses within the City of Yakima are as follows:

• 1 year (altered)                                    $25.00
• 1 year (unaltered)                                $75.00
• 3 year (altered)                                    $60.00
• 3 year (unaltered)                                $180.00
• Replacement tag                                 $10.00
• Senior Citizen 1 year (altered)            $12.50
• Senior Citizen 1 year (unaltered)        $37.50
• Senior Citizen 3 year (altered)            $30.00
• Senior Citizen 3 year (unaltered)        $90.00

The senior citizen rate for dog owners is available to residents ages 62 and older.

Get your dog license at the Yakima Police online portal or in-person at the police department (200 S 3rd St) during open lobby hours.
