Dog Licenses: If you own a dog and live in Cornwall, you must register the dog by April 1st each year. Registration is required by law in order to keep the rabies disease at bay. Dogs more than 6 months of age may be licensed any time after January 1st of a calendar year but must be licenses no later than April 1st of the same year to avoid an additional 50% fee assessment. Here is the Town Dog Ordinance.
To register your dog you need to provide a valid rabies vaccination certificate, which will be kept on file at the Town Office. The fee is $9.00 for a spayed or neutered dog and $11.00 for a dog that is not spayed or neutered. Rabies vaccinations are good for three years for adult dogs and one year for puppies.
