Dog Licenses

The County Auditor's Office loves dogs! We also license them. For your pet's safety and your own peace of mind-in addition, of course, to complying with the law-we encourage all San Juan County residents to license their dogs.
Requirements
All dogs in San Juan County and the Town of Friday Harbor are required to be licensed yearly. The license application must include the gender, breed, name, and owner of the dog. Please notify the County Auditor's Office if you no longer have a dog, so the dog license records can be updated before the annual renewal date. The licensing period is from January 1 to December 31 of each year, with no proration.

Cats are not required to be licensed.
