Pet Licensing FAQs

• How do I license my pet?

  • Online. Purchase or renew your pet's license online via the Regional Animal Services of King County website.
  • In Person. Buy or renew a pet license in person at Kenmore City Hall or other convenient pet licensing locations throughout King County.
  • Mail. Download an application form, or visit a convenient location near you to pick up an application form, and complete the Owner's Statement of Spay or Neuter form.

• What are the benefits of a pet license?

  • The first time your pet is found, King County will attempt to skip the shelter and bring your pet home;
  • Licensed pets have a longer stray hold at the shelter;
  • The Vacation Pet Alert programs allows you to provide contact information for your pet care while you are away from home; and
  • Pet license fees support the return of hundreds of lost pets to their homes and help adopt thousands of homeless pets to new families each year. License revenues from Kenmore residents are applied to the City's service costs, so you are directly supporting the services provided in Kenmore.
