The Amherst Town Clerk’s office would like to remind dog owners that it’s time to obtain your 2021 dog tag and license. The licensing year starts April 1st and ends March 31st of each year, so all 2020 tags have now expired. State law requires all dogs six months of age or older to be licensed and wearing a tag (MGL c. 140, s. 137).

You may obtain a license through the mail, online at: www.amherstma.gov/payments (renewals only), or by calling our Animal Control Officer at 413-478-7084.
