Lane County's licensing requirements

In Lane County, every dog must obtain a license when one of two things occurs: either the dog reaches the age of six months, or it obtains its permanent canine teeth, whichever comes first. See Lane County’s licensing page for more information about licensing laws. Cats are not required to be licensed, but optional licenses are available to purchase. 

To purchase a license you will need proof of a current rabies vaccination for your dog. You do not need to bring the dog with you, just the vaccination certificate.
