| A dog license must be procured by paying the City a fee, not later
than 30 days after the person becomes keeper of the dog, if the following applies:
- If
your residence is within the City of Lake Oswego's boundaries, then
State law requires that you obtain a dog license from the City.
- To
ensure all dogs are properly immunized, licensing programs were formed by
counties and cities following Oregon Revised Statutes 609.030 to 609.405,
which say "every person keeping a dog that has a set of permanent canine
teeth or is six months old, whichever comes first, shall procure a license
for the dog."
- Administrative
Rules for the State of Oregon Health Division (Chapter 333, Division 19,
Section 345) require all dogs six months of age and older to be immunized
against rabies.
City
applications for dog licenses may be obtained at City Hall, or
downloaded
and printed.
Fees range from $17 to $95 as illustrated in the
table below. Call 503-635-0255
for further information.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CONCERNING YOUR APPLICATION:

neutered or spayed. On the renewal applications, if yes is marked for Spayed/Neutered, the owner need not show proof that
