In order to identify and more quickly reunite lost pets with their owners, the City of Austin requires that all dogs and cats, whether indoor or outdoor pets, be registered with the City each year. Significant benefits are conferred to registered pets and their owners. If your pet is already tattooed/microchipped, the tattoo or chip number will be recorded at no extra charge with purchase of a Pet Registration tag.

Pet Registration tags cost $15 for intact animals or $5 for spayed/neutered animals (proof of spay/neuter is required). Persons age 62 or older can received up to two tags at no charge for spayed/neutered pets only. Dogs trained and certified to assist the disabled can be registered at no charge. Proof of rabies vaccination is required. For animals that cannot be vaccinated for health reasons, please have your veterinarian call the Pet Registration office at 512/708-6000.

You can bring or mail your rabies vaccination certificate(s)
and a check in the appropriate amount to:
