Online Licensing Now Available for Fido
Swampscott residents are required to maintain licenses for the pooches --- they're good from Jan. 1-Dec. 31 each year.

The Town of Swampscott is making just a little easier to keep your dog legally licensed.
You can now purchase your annual dog licenses online for a nominal extra fee (.$50 for echeck and 3.2 percent for credit and debit transactions).
When you log on to purchase your license, you’ll need to either upload a copy of the current rabies vaccination certificate or verify that the Swampscott Town Clerk has a copy on file (call 781-596-8855 or email at sduplin@town.swampscott.ma.us or chayes@town.swampscott.ma.us to verify the status of your certificate).
