County Auditor Says No Increase For 2025 Ross County Dog Licenses

Article Presented By Classic Brands…

(Chillicothe) – Ross County Auditor Jeff Lehner has announced that 2025 dog & kennel licenses are available for purchase at the Auditor’s office, online and at various vendors’ locations throughout Ross County.

“We in the Auditor’s office are happy to partner again with the Ross County Humane Society and small businesses throughout the community to make licenses easily available for residents,” Lehner said.  “No increase in fees — $10 per dog license and $50 for kennel licenses as they have been for many years now.”

State law requires individuals who “own, keep or harbor” dogs aged three months or more to obtain a license annually.  The deadline for purchasing 2025 licenses is January 31, 2025, after which time state-mandated penalties are assessed for late registration of dogs and kennels.  Proceeds help to provide support for the Ross County Humane Society.

Below are locations at which dog owners can purchase licenses.  Ross County residents with questions are encouraged to call the Auditor’s office at 740-702-3080 or find them Online: https://doglicenses.us/OH/Ross
