Dog Licensing

The Town of Old Lyme has a zero-tolerance policy regarding dog licensing. Pursuant to C.G.S. Section 22-338 et seq., all dogs over the age of 6 months must be licensed annually in their town of residence. Dog licenses are issued by the Town Clerk in the month of June and are valid from July 1st through June 30th.
