* RABIES: The State has mandated that rabies vaccinations must be valid for the licensing year. This means that if your pet's (dog/cat) rabies inoculation expires before October 31st during the calendar year 2010, you will not be able to renew the license in January without first having your pet revaccinated. If you have any question as to the status of your pet's rabies vaccination from last year's license, please call the Borough Hall. Please check to see that your pet's rabies inoculation is valid before you apply for a new license.
If you no longer have a pet that was registered last year, please call the Borough Hall and let us know.
If you have any questions, please call the Borough Hall (973-334-3131).
