ANIMAL LICENSING INFORMATION

Animal Licensing costs are $12.00 for Dogs and Cats, with an additional $3 if the animal is not spayed/neutered.

Animal licensing period is the month of May. AS PER STATE LAW, RABIES SHOTS MUST BE GOOD FOR 10 MONTHS—EXPIRING NO EARLIER THAN THE FOLLOWING MARCH                                       

Licenses can be renewed by mail or by using the "Tax Payments/Pet Licensing" mailbox outside the door of Borough Hall; please make the check payable to the Borough of Midland Park and include the license form, proof of rabies vaccination, proof of spaying/neutering and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Please notify the Borough Hall office at 201-445-5720, if you no longer have a pet to be registered.

A $10.00 late fee will be strictly enforced if licenses are not renewed by June 15th.  Please also note, if the license is not renewed by June 30th, a summons will be issued.

The Borough of Midland Park Offers a FREE Rabies Vaccination Program

The Midland Park Board of Health will be holding its annual Rabies Program to give FREE Rabies Vaccinations on the second Monday in May from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. The program will take place at the Municipal Building, 280 Godwin Avenue in Midland Park, NJ.   Dogs must be on leashes and cats must be in carriers; both dogs and cats are welcomed at any time. No retractable leashes can be used.  Residents from other municipalities are welcome to bring their pets to the program.

Rabies vaccinations are required by the NJ Department of Health for ALL dogs and cats four months of age and older (but not less than 12 weeks of age).  A booster vaccination should be given one year later and every three years thereafter. Please check the status of your dog’s or cat’s rabies vaccination records. Rabies is always a potential danger to humans and domestic animals if exposed to a rabid animal. Be proactive and have your pets vaccinated.  

For more information regarding licensing, please call the Borough Clerk at 201-445-5720.

Thank you.
