Dog License
Animal Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis. A license is required for dogs over 5 months of age (see Wis.Stat. 174.05 and Village Code Sec. 195).
Proof of rabies vaccination from your veterinarian stating the manufacturer name, serial number of the vaccine and expiration date of the vaccination must the provided before a license can be issued (see Wis. Stats. 95.21 & Village Code Sec. 195). Due to the high volume of counter traffic during tax collection time (December and January) the staff members at the Westfield Village Hall will not be able to call your veterinarian for this information.
