Auditor's Office Announces 2025 Dog License Info, Virtual Dog Show
Lancaster, Ohio – The Fairfield County Auditor’s Office will be accepting dog tag licensing applications and renewals December 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025. The office will be hosting a virtual dog show on its website as well as a coloring contest during this time.
The Ohio Revised Code requires all dogs over the age of three months to have a dog tag. Dog tags also serve an important role in helping return lost dogs to their homes and rightful owners. Tags can be purchased for one year, three years, or the lifetime of the dog by visiting the Auditor’s Office or online through our website at https://www.doglicenses.us/OH/Fairfield/. Dog licenses can also be purchased at the Fairfield County Dog Adoption Center or Pickerington Title Office.
Additionally, the Auditor’s Office is pleased to announce our second annual virtual dog show! Fairfield County residents are invited to submit a photo of their dog (past or present) along with the dog’s name. The photos will then be displayed on the Auditor’s website at https://www.co.fairfield.oh.us/auditor/. The virtual dog show will run from December 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. Submissions will be accepted at any time from now until January 31st.
The coloring pages can be found at https://www.co.fairfield.oh.us/auditor/coloringcontest/.
Submissions for the virtual dog show can be emailed to rachel.elsea@fairfieldcountyohio.gov. Submissions can also be mailed to or dropped off to the Fairfield County Auditor’s Office, 210 East Main Street, 2nd Floor, Room 206 Lancaster, Ohio 43130.
Dr. Carri Brown, County Auditor, stated, “It is that time of year again to make sure your family dog is licensed. We are encouraging people to get their licenses to help make sure that lost dogs find their way home. We offer convenient options with the online registration.
Also, it is going to be fun for everyone to participate in the virtual dog show as well as the new coloring contest. There are so many adorable, loveable dogs who are treasured in our county.”
