Clarion County to check for updated dog licenses

CLARION – Starting in April, regional dog wardens will canvass Clarion County to check for updated dog and rabies licenses, and illegal kennels, Clarion County Treasurer Tom McConnell said.

“It is important that all dogs have 2020 licenses so as to avoid fines of up to $300 per dog plus court costs,” he said.

Licenses, McConnell said, can be purchased at the Treasurer’s Office or by mail. The application can be downloaded from the treasurer page at co.clarion.pa.us. Send the completed application and check or money order to Treasurer Tom McConnell, 330 Main St., Room 110, Clarion, Pa. 16214.

Licenses can also be purchased at various businesses throughout the county.

Prices are $8.50 for male or female dogs, $6.50 for neutered or spayed dogs, and there is a $2 discount for senior citizens and applicants who qualify for disability.

There are also lifetime licenses available at the Treasurer’s office. Purchases can be also made at padoglicense.com by choosing Clarion County and paying with a credit or debit card.
