Town Board Meeting 7/9/25-7:00pm Agenda Pending
Dog Licenses and Kennel Permits
All dogs owned by a resident of the Town of Emmet must be licensed by April 1st of each year. Individuals renting property in the Town of Emmet must also license any dog they own; this is also a state law. Please License your dog(s).
Unlicensed/untagged, stray dogs can make it difficult to ensure that they find their way back home. Additionally, if a stray dog is called in and the owner cannot be readily found they will be picked up by Dodge County Humane Society. When that occurs there are additional charges/fines that you, the owner, incur as a result. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, please license your dog(s) and ensure they are wearing their tags.
A kennel permit is required by Town Ordinance.
Please review the Town of Emmet Ordinances tab for additional information regarding the kennel permit requirements in the Township.
Questions about a Conditional Use Permit from Dodge County regarding a kennel should be directed to Dodge County Zoning. A Conditional Use Permit is required from Dodge County for kennel operations.
If you have additional questions, please contact the Treasurer.
