Online Dog Licensing
Pennsylvania State Dog Law (Chapter 21 of Title 7) requires all dogs three (3) months and older to be properly licensed every calendar year in the county they reside.
Annual licenses are valid from January 1 thru December 31 each year.
Microchipped dogs are eligible for a Lifetime license.
Dog owners aged sixty-five years (at time of application) and older are eligible for a reduced rate on the license fee (annual and lifetime).
Licenses may not be transferred from one dog to another.
Applications submitted online and by mail will be processed when received and the license will be mailed to you. Please allow up to 15 business days for processing and delivery.
If you have any questions, please contact the County Treasurer's Office at 717.240.6380 or treasurer@cumberlandcountypa.gov.
