In the 2024 session, the Vermont Legislature increased the fee to be collected for the State of Vermont Rabies Control Program from $1 to $3 effective January 1, 2025. See Act 167 (2024).
This raises the total that clerks must collect to $11 for neutered or spayed dogs and $15 for unneutered ones registered by April 1, of which $7 must be remitted to the state. The law also expanded the use to which the money collected may be spent to include the administration of the State’s animal welfare laws.
Please see our Vermont Dog and Wolf-Hybrid Licensing and Dog License Types and Fees webpages for updated licensing fee totals.
