Dog License Application Process Changes

The St. Mary’s County Animal Control Division asks citizens who need to apply or acquire a county dog license to either come into the Animal Control office or submit an application (along with a copy of your dog’s current rabies vaccination certificate) by mail. Citizens are asked to not apply online for a dog license at this time.

If you have any questions, please call Animal Control at 301-475-8018 or visit online here.

Applications and rabies certificate can be mailed to:

The St. Mary’s Animal Welfare League, in partnership with the St. Mary’s County Health Department, offers low-cost rabies vaccinations, distemper vaccinations and microchipping every month from March through November.

The cost is $15 per animal for each rabies vaccine, $10 for each distemper vaccine and $30 for a microchip.
