Annual licenses are required for dogs over the age of 5 months.

A late fee of $5.00 will be applied if an existing dog is not licensed by April 1 each year. Landlords must notify renters that dog licenses are required. Please contact Claudia Ploeger at 715-881-0975, or mail information and fee to the Village of Eland, %Claudia Ploeger, PO Box 27, Eland.

To obtain a license for your dog — Send proof of current rabies vaccination, a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a check payable to the Village of Eland by January 31 to:

Wisconsin State Statutes mandate that the owner of a dog more than five months of age on January 1, or five months of age within this year, shall obtain a license prior to April 1 on or before the date the dog becomes five months of age. A late fee of $5 per dog licensed after March 31 will be applied. This fee is in addition to the regular license amount listed above.

Please be sure to get your dogs licensed to avoid possible penalties and fines. Failure to obtain a dog license is subject to a citation from Shawano County Sheriff's Department.  The fine for an unvaccinated dog is not less than $50.00 nor more than $100.00, plus court costs.

If you have renters and they have dogs, remind them of their obligation to obtain a dog license for each dog they own. 

If you no longer have a dog that was licensed in the village last year, call the Village Treasurer at 715-881-0975 so that we can remove the dog from our records.
