Dog licenses available in December

Owners can purchase a 2014 dog license starting Dec. 1.

Under state law, all dogs three months old and older are required to have a license by January 31 each year.

Owners can purchase a one-year dog tag for $20; a three-year tag for $60; or a permanent tag for $200.

The licenses can be purchased from the Greene County Auditor’s Office, 69 Greene Street in Xenia, or at Xenia Animal Control, 641 Dayton-Xenia Road.

Owners can also purchase a dog tag by mail.

All applications must be postmarked on or before January 31 to avoid a $20 per tag penalty.

Contact the Greene County Auditor at 937-562-5065 for more information. SHARAHN BOYKIN
