Dog tags officially go on sale Wednesday, December 1, 2022 for the 2023 license year.  Clinton County Auditor, Terence G. Habermehl, will be sending out renewal applications to all owners who purchased a 2022 tag. 

The last day to purchase 2023 Clinton County dog license without a penalty being assessed is January 31, 2023.  The cost of a single dog license is $14.00, and a kennel license is $70.00.  Recent law changes allow dog owners to now purchase three year and permanent dog licenses for their dogs.  The cost of a three-year license is $42 and a permanent license is $140.  Effective February 1st, 2023, the Ohio Revised Code requires the Auditor to charge a penalty equal to the fee of the license for late registration.  Thus, regular tags will be $28 each and $140 for kennels starting February 1, 2023.

Regular dog licenses can be purchased in person at the Clinton County Auditor’s office during regular office hours throughout the year. 

The auditor’s office has contracted with Fairfield Licensing to offer a convenient method of purchase for Clinton County residents through online registration.  There is an additional $2 charge per tag for this service.  Please visit www.doglicenses.us/oh/clinton to take advantage of this service.  Residents can also access the service via a link on the Clinton County Auditor’s home page.
