Dog Licensing

All dogs in Maine that are six months or older must be licensed annually in the town in which they reside. New and renewing Dog Licenses can be done in-person at the Blue Hill town Office. Between Oct 15th and Jan 31st licensing is available on-line at the State’s website (please click here). To avoid a required State late fee of $25, licenses must be obtained by Jan 31st.
