Dog License Information
Dog Licensing Overview
Butler County licenses over 36,000 dogs per year. Not only is the license required by law, it ensures your dog a free ride home. When the dog wardens find a licensed dog running loose, they can look up the information and make sure your dog is returned to you safe and sound.
If you have not licensed your dog yet, please print the application above and mail in with your payment to:
Butler County Auditor
130 High St., 4th floor
Hamilton, OH 45011
If your dog has lost its tag, you can purchase a duplicate tag for .25. You can only purchase a duplicate tag through the Auditor's Office. You can photocopy your original receipt, so that we have your tag number. Tape a quarter to that copy and send that along with a self addressed stamped envelope to the address above. Or you can come in and get one in person, it will only take a few minutes.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us at (513) 887-3160.
Transferring a Dog License
If you have given away or sold your dog that you have already licensed for the year, you can transfer the license to the new owner for .25. There is a form listed above that you can fill in and mail to our office.
Loss of a Beloved Pet
If you have lost a dog due to death, please inform us soon after at (513) 887-3160 so that we will not send you a renewal notice in the mail on that particular dog. If you get a new dog you will need to purchase a new tag for the new dog.
Change of Address
If you move, please call and give us your correct information at (513) 887-3160. Remember that the dog license is linked to your address. You want to be sure that the information is correct, should you be separated from your pet.
