(f) Term; annual and multi-year licenses. Dog licenses expire on the same date that the rabies vaccination expire. For annual vaccinations, the dog license expires annually. Dogs that received rabies vaccinations which are effective for more than one year may apply for a two-year or three-year license, depending on the type of rabies vaccination. When making application for a multi-year license, the owner must submit all the information required for an annual license as well as documentation indicating that the dog has received a rabies vaccination which is effective through the license period. Multi-year licenses may only be issued for dogs that have been spayed or neutered.
