On June 22, 2010, Governor Paterson signed a measure into law as part of the 2010‐2011 State Budget that moves the remainder of the dog licensing function required by Article 7 of the Agriculture and Markets Law to the level of local government, while at the same time providing additional revenue and resources to assist licensing municipalities with this transition. On January 1, 2011 the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets will no longer provide dog tags, issue license renewals or maintain dog licensing data as a service to municipalities. Municipalities currently authorized to issue dog licenses will assume the remainder of the dog licensing function. You may download the Dog License Application here.
