Dog License

The City of Edina not only cares about protecting its residents, but also for protecting the pets residing in the community. It is important for owners to keep their pets safe and protected.

All dogs 6 months and older residing in Edina must have a license permanently affixed to their collars. Cats do not have to be licensed. Dog licenses may be purchased at City Hall or online. In order to obtain a license, simply present proof of a current rabies vaccination at the time of the initial licensing and each renewal. Rabies vaccinations are required on all dogs and cats 6 months and older. Dogs are required to wear vaccination tags at all times.

Licensing provides the City with a method of ensuring that dogs are properly vaccinated against rabies. Additionally, dog owners receive tremendous value from a license in that authorities make every effort to return lost dogs to their homes when they are wearing a current license. All other dogs are transported to an animal shelter where impounding and boarding fees are charged.

All City dog licenses expire Dec. 31. To renew by mail, send current rabies information and a check for the licensing fee to:
    Edina City Hall
    4801 W. 50th St.
    Edina, MN 55424-1394
