Hemet, California

  • A license is required for any person to have a dog over the age of 4 months. The license fee for animals who are spayed or neutered is half the cost (or less) of the fee for intact animals.

Sec. 10-33. – Dog license.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to own, harbor or keep any dog four months of age or older within the city limits for a period longer than 30 days, unless there is attached to such dog a valid license tag obtained from the animal control officer.

(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (h) of this section, a license shall be issued for each dog upon the payment of the appropriate license fee. The license fee for a neutered male dog or spayed female dog, accompanied by a certificate of a licensed veterinarian that the animal is unable to reproduce, shall be one-half or less than that of such animals which have not been so neutered or spayed.
