Pet licenses must be renewed annually in January. You must show proof of rabies vaccination.

Tobacco Retailers

Required Signage:

• These signs must be clearly visible where tobacco products are displayed and at the cash register.
• Under a federal court order, the signs will be installed near cigarette displays in these stores between July 1 and September 30 and must be displayed until June 30, 2025. 
• For your convenience, signs that tobacco companies must place next to their products.

Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program: You may be eligible to have your pet spayed or neutered at a discounted price at one of the participating veterinary hospitals.

Public Health

Public health improves the conditions and behaviors that affect the health of each and every one of us. Public health battles against deadly contagious diseases and promotes healthier lifestyles. Public health seeks to reduce incidences of preventable diseases, minimize the consequences of catastrophic events, and provide the basics of sanitation, safe food, and water.

You Are Only as Healthy as the World You Live in.

Your health is determined not only by your own genetics and personal choices but also by the environment around you. Public health investigates the ecology of health – from social networks and economic circumstances to our environment – and then minimizes health risks.
