Treasurer's Office

Dog licenses are required for all dogs older than three months old. Obtaining a license is a quick and easy process that is essential to the safety of pets. If dogs are lost or stolen, a license can help make sure they get home safely. The fees collected through dog licensing are used to fund dog wardens.

NOTICE: Dog owners can go online to obtain new or renew license without the need to physically come to the treasurer’s office; although the Treasurer's Office will continue selling licenses, the new online system will provide an alternative method.

Along with the Lifetime Application Form, a Permanent Identification Verification Form needs to be filled out as well. Click here for this form.  

PLEASE NOTE: To receive a lifetime dog license, the dog must have a tattoo or microchip permanently identifying it. To qualify for disability reduced rate, proof of disability is required. 

All fees include service fees allowed by law; if the license is issued by an agent other than the Treasurer, an additional $.50 will be charged. Most of the licensing fees go to the state to fund various animal welfare programs. The county retains $1.00 to $1.45 of each license sold.

 Fishing License Information:   Getting a proper Pennsylvania fishing license is required if you plan on fishing in state waters. Anglers found to be removing wildlife from public waters without a valid or unexpired license to fish will be subject to various penalties and fines. To avoid punishment, anglers in Pennsylvania should become familiar with the various fishing license application guidelines. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission offers two main fishing license options to both residents and non-residents, including recreational fishing licenses and commercial fishing licenses.
