Citrus County Pets Requiring Licensing

Remember, cats and dogs and ferrets over the age of 4 months must be licensed with Citrus County. The County encourages pet owners to spay and neuter their pets. License fees for altered pets are $10 for a 1-year license or $30 for a 3-year license. Licenses for unaltered pets are $35 for a 1-year license or $105 for a 3-year license. A rabies vaccination certificate including vaccination and expiration dates is required to obtain a license. Proof of spay/neuter is required for the altered pet rate.

Purchasing a license and attaching it to your pet’s collar is one of the most important things you can do as a responsible pet owner.  Displaying a current license tag on your pet’s collar makes it easy for animal control officers and shelter employees to quickly locate a lost pet’s owner information. It could be your pet’s ticket home!
