The Animal Census has started!
Washington Township would like to inform you that a Animal Census has started. Census takers will be clearly identified with ID tags and driving marked vehicles with the Township logo. Please ask to see identification if you have concerns that the person you are speaking to is not part of the census program.
It is important to license and vaccinate your animal to protect residents and pets of Washington Township from Rabies. Current year licensing should have been completed prior to January 31st. Late fees will be applied for all animals licensed after January 31st.
Licenses may be obtained at the Tax Department in the Municipal Building.
Proof of a rabies vaccination and spaying/neutering (if applicable) is required to license your animal. The Rabies vaccination certificate must be valid through November 1st of the licensing year. If the certificate is not valid through November 1st of the licensing year, the animal must be vaccinated prior to licensing.
