Dog License Information
In Michigan, all dogs over 4 months old must have a current rabies vaccination and a dog license. You need to get the license by March 1 or as soon as your puppy gets its first rabies shot.
Van Buren County offers 1-year and 3-year dog licenses. To buy a license, your dog’s rabies vaccination must be current:
- For a 1-year license, the vaccination must have at least 30 days remaining.
- For a 3-year license, the vaccination must expire after April 1 of the license’s expiration year.
