Attention Pet Owners,

City staff has made a few changes to the Cat and Dog licenses this year.  Please review the changes and process for submitting your pet license below.

1. Animal licenses have been combined into a universal pet license.
2. We are accepting pet license applications and vaccination records via email or fax to petlicensing@stcharlesmn.org or 507-932-5301.
   • Application forms can be found at the button to the left.
   • Payments can be made online using the link on the application form.
   • Applications received via email will have registration tags mailed via USPS once all vaccination records, application, and payment are received.
3. In person applications will only be accepted during City Hall business hours Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. No evening registration events will be held.
4. Late fee will be imposed December 1, 2020 for any previously license cats or dogs failing to be renewed by December 1, 2020.

Sample of ordinance changes to note:

• All Pet Licenses will expire September 30 of even numbered years.
• New Pet Licenses issued throughout the year will only be pro-rated within 180 days prior to expiration date. Any new license issued within 180 days from expiration will be charged 50% of the fee.
• Fees will be $20 for unaltered pets and $10 for spayed/neutered pets.
• Pets under 12 months of age who will be altered (spayed/neutered) do not need to be licensed until after the surgery.
