Maine requirements- all dogs 6 months of age or older must be licensed in the State of Maine. To license a dog you must have a current Maine rabies certificate. If the dog has been spayed or neutered, you must show proof from a veterinarian to receive the lower license fee. Licensing fees are $6.00 for spayed/neutered dogs and $11.00 for unaltered dogs. A kennel license is available for anyone that has a at least 5 dogs kept in a single location under one ownership for breeding, hunting, show, training, field trials and exhibition purposes. A kennel license covers up to 10 dogs and is $42.00. A kennel license is not a requirement, any dog can be individually licensed. Late fees will be charged after January 31 of each year.
Of the fees collected: $6.00 spay/neuter, $1.00 goes to the town clerk for a recording fee, $2.00 is deposited in the organized town's animal welfare fund to be used for any animal welfare needs such as equipment, animal control officers salary, shelter costs, and injured animals, and $3.00 goes to the state. $11.00 unspayed/neutered, $1.00 goes to the clerk for recording fee & $10.00 goes to the state. Kennel license, $12.00 goes to the clerk for recording fee, and $30.00 goes to the state. All late fees go into the organized town's animal welfare fund.
Licensing is accomplished quickly and easily at the Cumberland Town Hall.
