Dog Licenses Michigan Law requires that all dogs be licensed.  In Ogemaw County, all dogs are required to be licensed and have a current rabies certificate.  Therefore, as soon as a dog is vaccinated, a license has to be obtained for the dog.  Dogs can be vaccinated as early as 4 months old, but usually not later than 6 months old (depending on breed).  Your Veterinarian’s office can inform you as to when you can have your dog receive the vaccine.    Licenses are issued yearly and must be obtained by February 28 each year or a penalty will be added to the license fee.  Dog licenses are sold by the County Treasurer’s Office all year round and some Townships/Cities sell dog licenses while collecting taxes.  A  Dog license application can be completed and mailed to the Treasurer's Office   After March 1, dog licenses are available only at the Ogemaw County Treasurer’s Office. You may come in person or fill out a Dog license application, mailing in the necessary information and appropriate fee.   Fees for dog license:  Dogs that are fixed:         $5.00                                          Dogs that are not fixed:  $10.00                                          License after Feb 28:     $25.00   You may now pay your dog license with a credit card. For more information you may contact our office at 989-345-0084 or treasurer@ogemawcountymi.gov .
